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 Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A physicist known for her flash
\nIs bold, she is brassy and brash.
\nThe men at the helm
\nShe MUST overwhelm.
\nShe loves to find Adams to smash!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to both Craig Dykstra and Mark Kane who are tied for this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award: <\/p>\n

Craig Dykstra’s Ode to The Man in Black: <\/p>\n

\n“Despite all the money you flash
\nYour Czechoslovakian bash
\nWon’t be held here \u2013 that’s right,
\nJohnny C’s on tonight
\nSo we won’t allow Czechs, only Cash.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark Kane:<\/p>\n

A star who was known for her flash,
\nWore a dress which was barely a sash.
\nDisplaying her flair,
\nWhile practically bare,
\nShe showed off her ass with panache.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Bob Dvorak, Johanna Richmond, Scott Crowder, Craig Dykstra, Nan Reiner (a\/k\/a Kitty Ditty), and Tim James. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks: <\/p>\n

Bob Dvorak: <\/p>\n

A man who was known for his flash-
\nIn-the-pan antics tried something brash —
\nBraising food in his shed.
\nIt caught fire; he fled.
\nSo what’s left? Just a pane in the ash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond: <\/p>\n

A madam well known for her flash
\nCut her price to a dollar per lash,
\nBut it flopped \u2013 business waned:
\nMasochistics complained \u2013
\nHow\u2019s a prick to feel pain with that slash?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder: <\/p>\n

A gal who was known for her flash,
\nWith Paul was a rock and roll smash.
\nShe no longer sings,
\nShe has other Wings,
\nAnd Heather Mills has all the cash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

On her webcam, her boobs she would flash
\nAnd her viewers would tip her with cash
\nBut her cam worked the best
\nPointed just at her chest
\nAnd away from her bushy mustache.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A gal who was known for her flash
\nPulled a stunt that was bound to abash.
\n\u201c\u2019Twas a wardrobe malfunction,\u201d
\nShe cooed with some unction,
\nThen winked as she raked in the cash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James: <\/p>\n

A man who was known for his flash
\nChose a park for his disrobe-and-dash.
\nBut he tripped and he stumbled,
\nIn poison oak tumbled.
\nThe result, like his action, was rash.<\/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
