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 Johanna Richmond, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow who fell on his face
\nWould have undergone far less disgrace
\n\u2018Midst commuter-rush throng,
\nIf his garter and thong
\nHadn\u2019t spilled from his attach\u00e9 case.<\/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

The graduate shielded his face
\nFrom the couple\u2019s impassioned embrace.
\nAs they sweated and thrusted
\nHe said, quite disgusted,
\n\u201cYou win, Mom \u2013 I\u2019ll get my own place.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Bob Dvorak, Jamie Hutchinson, Edmund Conti, Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith,<\/a> and Kathy El-Assal. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Bob Dvorak:<\/p>\n

A woman once fell on her face
\nGetting dressed for the party apace.
\nHer troubles began
\nWith a spritz from a can;
\nNot cologne, but emergency mace.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie Hutchinson:<\/p>\n

A camper who fell on his face
\nWhen a bear from his privy gave chase
\nHad two cheeks in the ground
\nAnd two\u2014white and round\u2014
\nFacing up at the stars out in space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edmund Conti: <\/p>\n

A woman who fell on her face
\nWas too drunk to acknowledge disgrace.
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s a lady to do\u201d
\nShe asked of the crew
\n\u201cTo get her a drink in this place.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/\/k\/a Granny Smith:<\/p>\n

A model who fell on her face,
\nFrom a swing<\/a>, was too angry for grace.
\n\u201cDamn that Fragonard guy!
\nWell, he swung me too high
\nJust so HE could paint more bits of lace!\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

While flirting he fell on his face,
\nUsing slapstick to pick up the pace.
\nThe view from down under
\nShowed booty to plunder:
\nNo thong! Just a black hole in space.<\/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
