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 Jane Shelton Hoffman who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A gal in an overpriced store
\nGot stopped as she walked out the door.
\n“What alerted you, sir?”
\n“Well, you’re wearing a fur,
\nAnd it’s 98 out, if not more.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Jamie Hutchinson who wins this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for this limerick which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

The Prez bought an overpriced store
\nOf supplies for the Middle East war.
\nThe dealers were sharks,
\nThe bombs missed their marks,
\nAnd the Congress declared, \u201cBuy some more!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Elizabeth Civinskas a\/k\/a Mrs.Smeej<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, Bruce Niedt<\/a>, Veralynne Bosko Pepper, Daniel Ari<\/a>, and Colleen Murphy<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Civinskas: <\/p>\n

A gal in an overpriced store
\nSaid, shocked to the depths of her core:
\n“With prices so high
\n“There should be a guy
\n“To carry me in from the door.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond: <\/p>\n

A man in an overpriced store
\nEmbarrassed his wife to the core:
\nWhile the one percent stared,
\nIndiscreetly he aired,
\n\u201cJC Penney\u2019s got dresses galore!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bruce Niedt:<\/p>\n

A gal in an overpriced store
\nFound herself a nice Christian Dior,
\nBut they thought her a lout,
\nAnd said, kicking her out,
\n\u201cYou pronounce it cou-TURE, not cou-TOR!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Veralynne Bosko Pepper:<\/p>\n

A gal in an overpriced store
\nTried a dress on so tight that it tore.
\nEmbarrassed to death
\nShe started on meth,
\nAnd pounds! Well, she lost \u2018em galore!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Daniel Ari:<\/p>\n

A man in an overpriced store
\nSaid, \u201cShow me some more, I implore.
\nThis past Mother\u2019s Day
\nI forgot. Now I\u2019ll pay
\nRestitution by Christian Dior.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

A gal in an overpriced store
\nSomehow slipped on a spot on the floor.
\nHer lawyer she dialed;
\nA lawsuit he filed,
\nWhich led to an overpriced score.<\/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
