I found reading your entries a treat
\nAnd picking the winners a feat.
\nBut judge them I must,
\nOr I’m bound to be trussed
\nUp for failing to pick the elite.<\/p>\n

\nA settler who died in the heat.
\nThe one who would win
\nGot the head to the shin,
\nWhile the loser accepted de feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>, and Scott Crowder. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n
\nHis wife to an ironing feat.
\nHe would start at the dawn;
\nAll day long he\u2019d \u201cpress\u201d on.
\nHe\u2019d work \u2019til the job was com-pleat.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nAnd you\u2019re hopelessly stuck on the sweet.
\nAs he started to chew
\nThe snap-crackle-pop goo,
\nThe abstract became the concrete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nDave Petraeus to sex in his suite.
\nBut his penchant for play
\nMeant goodbye, CIA
\nWhen he had to give up on deceit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nHimself to a meal of fine meat.
\nOne time on a dare
\nHe took his lamb rare,
\nBut gagged when it started to bleat!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nFor his wife who enjoyed a good sweet:
\n\u201cTo make things enticing
\nLet\u2019s first spread the icing.
\nThen you lick the beater; I\u2019ll beat.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nE D in her men with red meat;
\nThen she\u2019d strip to the waist \u2026
\nSorry folks, for good taste,
\nThis limerick must stay incomplete.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nHuman “friends” as the friends to delete.
\nFrequent trips to the vet’s
\nShowed her preference for pets,
\nAnd she learned how to meow, bark, and tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nHimself to the odd and off-beat.
\nThis Renaissance man
\nLiked his wine in a can,
\nAnd his favorite Beatle was Pete.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
