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

A fellow came forth to be wed
\nBy a judge before whom he had pled
\nSo often that now,
\nWhen asked for his vow,
\nBy habit \u201cNot guilty!\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A woman was planning to wed
\nAnd visions of bliss filled her head.
\nBut it all came to naught
\nWhen her lover was caught
\nWith the wife he\u2019d neglected to shed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Jane Shelton Hoffman, Richard Schear, Linda Fuller, Elaine Spall<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, and Robert Schechter. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A fellow was planning to wed
\nTill he found out they’d both been misled.
\nShe said she was Doris.
\nTurned out she was Horace.
\nAnd he was an Alice, not Fred!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Richard Schear:<\/p>\n

A fellow was planning to wed
\nA girl who was all in his head.
\nHe thought, \u201cNo big deal
\nIf she is unreal.
\nAt least she won\u2019t nag me in bed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Linda Fuller:<\/p>\n

A woman was nervous to wed
\nA man with a nose cherry red.
\nWas it booze? Inflammation?
\nA freaky mutation?
\nOr should he be pulling a sled?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elaine Spall: <\/p>\n

A fellow was planning to wed
\nAnd pleased when his fiance said,
\n“I don’t think I can swap.
\nI just must be on top.”
\nThen he found out she bought a bunk bed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

Mister Romney will now try to wed
\nMainstream views to extreme things he\u2019s said,
\nBut Ayn Randian mean
\nIs a bitch to scrub clean;
\nAin’t no hosing that tea from his bed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter:<\/p>\n

A woman was planning to wed
\nA man who was thoroughly dead.
\n“The long and the short is
\nI love rigor mortis,”
\nShe winked. “It’s so useful in bed.”<\/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
