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

The bed buyer started to preen,
\nThough the mattress guy\u2019d said something mean:
\nHe had looked at her mass
\nAnd the size of her ass
\nAnd said \u201cMadam, you\u2019re fit for a queen!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

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

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

A fellow who tended to preen
\nFlashed a grin at the Jumbo-tron screen
\nAnd said, \u201cWhat nominee?
\nThis is all about me.
\nI\u2019ll be running in 2016.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman:<\/p>\n

A woman who tended to preen
\nWas found dead. Cops were called to the scene.
\nHer spouse cried, “My wife
\nDid NOT take her life!
\nShe would never be caught dead in green!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra:<\/p>\n

For her boyfriend, she started to preen,
\nStating \u201cI have the legs of a queen!\u201d
\nThen she asked \u201cIn this light
\nWhich looks best – \u2018left\u2019 or \u2018right\u2019 ?\u201d
\nHe said \u201cI\u2019m more a fan of \u2018between\u2019. \u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bruce Niedt: <\/p>\n

A fellow who tended to preen
\nPicked up gals from the singles bar scene.
\nBut he\u2019s now in the pen
\nWhere he does five-to-ten \u2013
\nHis last conquest was only sixteen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie Hutchinson:<\/p>\n

A charmer was starting to preen,
\nAs he sweet-talked the lovely Alene.
\n\u201cMay I stay?\u201d \u201cYes, you may.\u201d
\nThen he learned, as they lay,
\nThat Alene was a Turing machine.<\/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
