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

A man who was never in doubt
\nLeft his wife with a permanent pout.
\nEvery secret he’d share,
\nAnd cute tips (like you care!)
\nOn the things he knew nothing about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A man who is never in doubt,
\nIs a man we can all live without
\nBecause he\u2019ll refuse
\nTo see other views,
\nAnd learn what real life is about.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Kathy El-Assal, Jane Shelton Hoffman, Patrick McKeon, VerseBender<\/a>, David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a>, and Linda Fuller. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Kathy El-Assal:<\/p>\n

When young she was never in doubt
\nAbout getting a surgical pout.
\nNow with lips like a fish
\nThis actress\u2019s wish
\nIs not to resemble a trout.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A guy was once never in doubt
\nThat he just wasn’t really that stout,
\nTill he could not dislodge
\nHimself from his Dodge.
\nTriple A had to come pry him out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patrick McKeon:<\/p>\n

A man who was never in doubt
\nWould pound on his bible and shout:
\n“If the Lord walked today
\nHe would punish the gay.”
\nThen his elderly mother came out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Versebender:<\/p>\n

A man who was never in doubt
\nAs to what this old world is about
\nSaid, \u201cListen, my son
\nTo Rule Number One:
\nOnly money provides you with clout.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David McCormick: <\/p>\n

A Lim’ricker, never in doubt
\nThat this week, his verse would win out,
\nReached the end of line 3
\nBUT THEN ACCIDENT’LY
\nHIT CAPS LOCK AND WAS TOLD NOT TO SHOUT. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Linda Fuller:<\/p>\n

A man who was tortured by doubt
\nJoined a cult and became quite devout.
\nHe gave them his money,
\nAte raw eggs with honey
\nAnd worshipped a virginal trout.\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
