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 David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A woman was putting on airs
\nAt society ballroom affairs:
\n“I’m seeing a gent
\nFrom the point-one percent;
\nIt’s beneath me to date millionaires.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A woman was putting on airs
\nAnd padding her modest upstairs.
\nThe guy on her date
\nFound this all out too late.
\n‘Twas a package of buyer B-wares.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Chris Doyle, Jason Talbott<\/a>, Craig Dykstra, Patrick McKeon, Johanna Richmond, Jane Shelton Hoffman, Nan Reiner a\/k\/a Kitty Ditty, and Jamie Hutchinson. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

An attorney was putting on airs
\nTo impress his new right-wing confr\u00e8res:
\n“Screw the ACLU!
\nI’m preparing to sue
\nIn high court for my right to arm bears!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jason Talbott:<\/p>\n

A fellow was putting on airs
\nAs a master of plumbing repairs,
\nBut his ego was crushed
\nWhen the toilet was flushed
\nAnd the payload still flowed down the stairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra:<\/p>\n

A pro bowler was putting on airs:
\n\u201cI love women \u2013 alone or in pairs.
\nWhen I see one I like
\nI can score with one strike,
\nAnd I\u2019m quite good at picking up spares.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patrick McKeon:<\/p>\n

A woman was putting on airs
\nAs she slowly ascended the stairs
\nBut her cover was blown
\nWhen the glass floor had shown
\nThat the dress is quite all that she wears.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

Jan Brewer is putting on airs.
\nIt\u2019s a win for the states, she declares!
\nThe republican style
\n(Ignore facts with a smile)
\nSuits this queen of right-wing derrieres.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A hunter was putting on airs.
\nHe’d shot moose and he’d wrestled with bears.
\nThen a tiny grey mouse
\nAppeared in his house
\nAnd he fled to the top of the stairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nan Reiner a\/k\/a Kitty Ditty<\/p>\n

A fellow was putting on Airs,
\nBut his wife flashed disparaging stares.
\n\u201cGet the shoes if you like,
\nBut you won\u2019t play like Mike
\nEven if you buy fifty-nine pairs!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie Hutchinson:<\/p>\n

Viagra is putting on airs
\nWith old couples who dash up the stairs.
\nWhy, the ladies, you’d think
\nHad grown a new pink
\nAnd the gents had developed new pairs!<\/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
