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 Chris Doyle, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

At beriths, Rabbi Cohen would claim,
\n“I’m not in this for fortune or fame.
\nThough a mohel takes joy
\nIn each circumcised boy,
\nIt’s the kid who has skin in the game.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A fellow would frequently claim,
\n“I’m hung and you’re not, what a shame.”
\nHis friend said, “Don’t brag,
\nYour hag is a ‘drag,’
\nAnd mine is a fine-lookin’ dame!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Jane Shelton Hoffman, Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, Bill Klein, Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Scott Crowder, Steve Whitred<\/a>, Tim James, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, and Konrad Schwoerke. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A woman would piously claim
\nThat her husband was easy to tame.
\nNo more Internet porn
\nOr gambling he’d sworn,
\nBut he kept it up using her name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly: <\/p>\n

A hunter would frequently claim
\n“Always making clean kills is my game.”
\nAs a kid, a pet kitten
\nHe’d grievously smitten–
\nSince then, he has been anti-maim.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bill Klein: <\/p>\n

A woman would loudly exclaim
\nAt great volume whenever she came.
\nBut her man was a fool
\nWho thought her a jewel
\n\u2018Til that night she cried out the wrong name.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

My three-year old often would claim
\nHe tinkled with accurate aim.
\nWhen asked why the potty
\nWas always so spotty,
\nHe said that his dad was to blame.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder: <\/p>\n

A woman would frequently claim.
\nHer husband was lazy and lame.
\nI’m sorry, my dear,
\nNow fetch me a beer,
\nAnd let me get back to the game.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

A fellow would frequently claim
\nThat all women he knew were the same.
\nAlways early, he\u2019d wait
\nWith concern for each date,
\nAnd thank god if they finally came.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Some athletes would frequently claim,
\n\u201cI\u2019d never use steroids! That\u2019s lame!\u201d
\nThey resembled in bulk
\nThe Incredible Hulk.
\nToo bad there\u2019s no Drug Hall of Fame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits: <\/p>\n

Mr. Christie had put in a claim
\nFor a hurricane (Sandy, by name),
\nWhich his buddy, the Speaker,
\nDelayed by a week or
\nA month, to his evident shame.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Konrad Schwoerke:<\/p>\n

Our mother would frequently claim
\nThat my brother and I were to blame.
\n\u201cYou boys broke what encloses
\nMy painting of roses.\u201d
\nTogether we cried: \u201cIt\u2019s a frame!\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
