It’s time to announce the latest Limerick of the Week based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in last week’s Limerick-Off.<\/a> I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and the Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to JANE SHELTON HOFFMAN who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A man with a very full plate
\nOrdinarily had to work late,
\nBut his young, lovely wife
\nHad her own secret life.
\nLet’s just say her masseur was quite straight.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Colleen Murphy<\/a>, J Cosmo Newbery<\/a>, Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, Versebender<\/a>, and Johanna Richmond. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

A gal with a very full plate
\nWent out on her very first date,
\nBut with ten minutes gone
\nIt was time to move on,
\nSo she jilted her dumbfounded mate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

J Cosmo Newbery:<\/p>\n

A man with a very full plate
\nIgnored the allure of his date.
\n“The main course is divine,
\nThen there’s cake, cheese and wine;
\nThe entree will just have to wait.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bryon Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly:<\/p>\n

A nymphet with a personal plate
\nWould slow down and cause traffic to wait.
\nAs men drove up behind her
\nThey read this reminder:
\nIALWZGVHEDWNID8<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Versebender:<\/p>\n

A man with a very full plate
\nHad no<\/strong> time to look for a mate.
\nSo he ordered online
\nA companion divine
\nThat all he need do is inflate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

Bachman\u2019s man has a very full plate,
\nWhat with legions of gays to set straight.
\nBut his \u201cpray away\u201d swagger,
\nSuggests the old wagger
\nMay have tried out the rear pearly gate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.<\/p>\n

In the next couple of minutes I\u2019ll be posting a new Limerick-Off,<\/a> which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.<\/p>\n
