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><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Robert Schechter who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

Young Jack, who was terribly shrill,
\nSaid, “Give me another chance, Jill!”
\nBut her dad said, “My daughter
\nDon’t need your damn water,
\nYou klutz! Stay away from that hill!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Jason Talbott<\/a> who wins this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for this limerick which received the most Facebook likes:<\/em><\/p>\n

A man who was terribly shrill
\nTried to sing with vibrato and trill.
\nThe glassware all shattered
\nAs bar patrons scattered
\nAnd they’ve banned karaoke there still.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Madeleine Sara Maddocks<\/a>, Craig Dykstra, Neal Pattison, Jane Shelton Hoffman, Ira Bloom, and John Reeves a\/k\/a Doggerelo<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Madeleine Maddocks:<\/p>\n

A gal who was terribly shrill
\nOn account of her helium thrill
\nSold balloons at the fair
\n\u2019Til she took to the air
\nAnd was seen floating over a hill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

So this gal with a voice that was shrill,
\nSaid of birthdays, \u201dI\u2019ve quite had my fill!\u201d
\nThen she grabbed up a knife
\nAnd soon ended her life.
\nNow she\u2019s under, not over, the hill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Neal Pattison:<\/p>\n

A jerk who was terribly shrill
\nHad a label for those on the pill:
\nNo ifs, ands or buts,
\nHe called them all sluts.
\nNow the pig finds his fat on the grill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A gal who was terribly shrill
\nWas known for her horror film skill.
\nShe could shriek loud and clear
\nAnd show real intense fear.
\nShe was often the one they would kill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ira Bloom:<\/p>\n

A guy who was terribly shrill
\nTold a woman who’d eaten her fill:
\n“Have you stepped on a scale?
\nYou’re as big as a whale!
\nI suggest you cut back on the krill!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Reeves a\/k\/a Doggerelo <\/p>\n

A gal who was terribly shrill
\nBroke glass with her voice for a thrill.
\nShe hit the wrong note
\nIn a glass-bottomed boat.
\nThey’re dragging the lake for her still.\n<\/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
