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

A hooker was starting to rue
\nWhat she said to her John she would do.
\n\u201cHis kink\u2019s not exciting.
\nHe has me reciting
\nThe writings of Albert Camus.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A limericist started to rue
\nHis endeavors the past week or two.
\nAll that clever invention
\nGot nary a mention.
\n(Perhaps I should switch to haiku.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Sally Franz<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, Bob Dvorak, Mike Dailey<\/a>, Scott Crowder, Patrick McKeon, and Craig Dykstra. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Sally Franz:<\/p>\n

A woman was starting to rue
\nAll the pounds she had gathered anew.
\nSeems she\u2019d taken a cruise,
\nGrazed on chocolate and booze.
\nNow her scale read: one please, and not<\/strong> two.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

Too many have gone on to rue
\nDelaying a trip to the loo.
\nHear this, one and all:
\nWhen the urge comes to call
\nPiddle not; \u2018taint a thing to poo poo!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bob Dvorak:<\/p>\n

A woman was starting to rue
\nThat she\u2019d told Bill the Builder, \u201cI do.\u201d
\nShe found that male dolts
\nComprehend nuts and bolts
\nBut they don\u2019t understand \u201cgentle screw\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mike Dailey: <\/p>\n

A critic was starting to rue
\nThe play he was there to review.
\nThe actors were nudist,
\nThe language the crudest,
\nAnd his grandmother starred in it too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder: <\/p>\n

A fellow was starting to rue
\nHis claims climate change is not true.
\nNow he feels like a jerk,
\nAs he paddles to work
\nOn what used to be I-92.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patrick McKeon:<\/p>\n

A woman was starting to rue
\nThe shine that she put on her shoe.
\nWith her skirt on in town
\nAll the men would look down,
\nEnjoying the excellent view.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra:<\/p>\n

Un soir as I walked down la rue
\nA chat noir et blanc came in view.
\nI knelt down to pet it,
\nBut soon I\u2019d regret it.
\nLe chat? It was Pep\u00e9 Le Pew!<\/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
