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 Brenda Bryant a\/k\/a Rinkly Rimes,<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A woman would frequently pose
\nIn very undignified clothes.
\nOn her feet she wore spats,
\nOn her head she wore hats,
\nAnd the parts in between simply froze.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

The nudists would frequently pose
\nIn group shots without any clothes.
\nBut the photos they’d crop,
\nLeave the waist to the top
\nTo hide any parts that arose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Johanna Richmond, Craig Dykstra, Scott Crowder, Phyllis Reinhard, Jazzbumpa<\/a>, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, and Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

It was feared an art teacher might pose
\nA threat to her junior van Goghs
\nWhen she cried out, \u201cAlright,
\nOne more bad Starry Night
\nAnd I\u2019ll cut off your ear AND your nose!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra:<\/p>\n

So this model is striking a pose.
\nHow she holds so still, God only knows.
\nNever moving an inch
\nSo I gave her a pinch \u2026
\nAnd found out we\u2019re in Madame Tussaud\u2019s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder: <\/p>\n

A fellow would frequently pose,
\nFor wifey, without any clothes.
\nAnd to make him look hung,
\nAs when he was young,
\nShe\u2019d zoom in as far as it goes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phyllis Reinhard:<\/p>\n

Sweet Gertrude would frequently pose
\nA question — what\u2019s verse and what\u2019s prose?
\nShe lifted her Stein
\nAnd declared both were fine,
\nSince \u201ca rose is a rose is a rose.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

JazzBumpa:<\/p>\n

A woman would frequently pose
\nAt my studio, sans all her clothes.
\nI quite liked the view;
\nWhen the painting was through
\nWe discussed the first thing that arose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Some Democrats wanted to pose
\nAs the One Percent\u2019s populist foes,
\nUntil revelations
\nThat all their donations
\nWere siphoned from rich CEOs.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A mermaid would frequently pose
\nOn a rock. In the winter, she froze.
\n\u201cThey think it is chipper
\nThat I have a flipper.
\nI would rather have toes and warm clothes!\u201d<\/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
