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 Johanna Richmond who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow was starting to snap
\nHis fingers and point to his lap,
\nWhen his wife snarled, \u201cYou lech,
\nIf you want me to fetch
\nLike a dog, give me more than that scrap!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Brenda Bryant a\/k\/a Rinkly Rimes<\/a> who wins this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for this limerick which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

A fellow was taking a snap
\nOf a lady who’d had a mishap.
\nSomething really quite drastic
\nHad snapped her elastic!
\nNo wonder his face got a slap!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>, Robert Basler<\/a>, Scott Crowder, David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a>, Jane Shelton Hoffman, and Elaine Spall<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith: <\/p>\n

A fellow was trying to snap
\nThe brim of his stylish golf cap.
\nWhen a gust made it fly,
\n“Oh, I’m glad,” said the guy,
\n“That the cap and not me hit the trap,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Basler:<\/p>\n

A fellow was starting to snap.
\nHe did not want to get a bad rap.
\nHe was racking his brain!
\nWould Madeleine Kane
\nAllow him to use the word crap?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder: <\/p>\n

A woman was starting to snap:
\nThe corkscrew was working like crap.
\nThen hubby came in,
\nAnd said with a grin,
\n\u201cHoney, just twist off the cap.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David McCormick: <\/p>\n

A dachshund was starting to snap
\nAt the cheese in a loaded mousetrap,
\nWhen the spring went ‘KAPOW!’
\nAnd that, friends, is how
\nThe pug first appeared on the map!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman:<\/p>\n

A woman was starting to snap.
\nHer boss had his hand in her lap.
\nAs his fingers progressed
\nShe felt really hard-pressed
\nTo play ball or get sacked by this chap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elaine Spall: <\/p>\n

A woman was starting to snap
\n‘Cause she just could not undo the strap:
\n“Sure, it gives a nice shape
\nBut my ‘girls’ can’t escape.
\nThis new bra, should be called ‘Booby Trap'”<\/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
