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

A farm wife was peeved at her mate
\nAnd his personal hygiene of late.
\nThe stench so extended,
\nThe pigs were offended
\nAnd threatened to move out of state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A woman was peeved at her mate,
\nSo she packed all his stuff in a crate
\nIn the dark before dawn,
\nSet it out on the lawn,
\nAnd abandoned it all to its fate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Richard Diakun, Stephen Fleming, Johanna Richmond, Jim Sullivan, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>, and Bruce Niedt<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Richard Diakun: <\/p>\n

A woman was peeved at her mate,
\nWho thought when she said she was late
\nThat all of their lovin\u2019
\nLeft one in the oven,
\nInstead of her plane at the gate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stephen Fleming:<\/p>\n

A woman was peeved at her mate
\nFor constantly putting on weight.
\nBut “the bigger the cushion,
\nThe better the pushin\u2019,”
\nHe said as he cleaned off his plate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A woman\u2019s been peeved at her mate
\nSince their date back in seventy eight
\nWhen a finger of rum
\nShot his plan not to come;
\nNow she rues the words \u201cI\u2019ll take it straight.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jim Sullivan: <\/p>\n

A woman was peeved with her mate,
\nAn actor who loved to orate.
\nShe said, \u201cClint, if you dare
\nYell at one more damn chair,
\nPack your bags, and I\u2019ll show you the gate!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose: <\/p>\n

A woman was peeved that her mate
\nSpent their cash at a scandalous rate.
\n“It isn’t the cars
\nOr the Cuban cigars;
\nIt’s the tips for the strippers I hate!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A husky was peeved at a mate.
\nHe growled, \u201cShe\u2019s not pulling her weight.
\nI was shocked at the sight
\nAs she crept out last night
\nAnd went with a Wolf on a date!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bruce Niedt:<\/p>\n

A woman was peeved at her mate,
\nA Saudi oil-rich potentate:
\n\u201cWe had a big fight
\n\u2018Cos he\u2019s drilling tonight,
\nBut by that he means wife number eight!”<\/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
