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

Found my dog in her pretty bow tie
\nFast asleep near a half-eaten pie.
\nI said “Fifi, confess!
\nIt was you made this mess!”
\nBut you know how those sleeping dogs lie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Edmund Conti, who wins the Special Valentine’s Day-Themed Limerick Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a Valentine card,
\nThough I searched on the whole boulevard.
\nThere were none on the shelf,
\nSo I wrote this myself
\nAnd I\u2019m hoping I won\u2019t be dis-bard.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A man who was wearing a tie
\nThought he looked good enough to get by.
\nHe got taken away
\nBy the ol\u2019 TSA
\n\u201c\u2019Cause you\u2019re not wearing pants, sir \u2013 that\u2019s why.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Sue Dulley, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Edmund Conti, Lois Douthitt, Ira Bloom, Bob Dvorak, and Craig Dykstra. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Sue Dulley:<\/p>\n

A tourist was wearing a tie.
\nShe wanted to look like a guy.
\nSo why did we fail
\nTo see her as male?
\nShe asked for directions, that’s why.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits: <\/p>\n

A man who was wearing a tie
\nRemarked, with a gleam in his eye:
\n“Although I’m well-dressed,
\nI’m not as repressed
\nAs these regiment stripes would imply.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edmund Conti:<\/p>\n

A fellow was wearing a Thai
\nRound his neck and was wondering why.
\nCan it be that all these
\nUnrestrained Siamese
\nHave trouble just saying \u201cGood-bye\u201d?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lois Douthitt: <\/p>\n

As the pirate was trying to tie
\nUp his wench, she refused to comply.
\n\u201cProne again on the bed?
\nI want face-up instead!
\nWe will\u2014arrgh!\u2014never see aye-to-aye.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ira Bloom: <\/p>\n

A jarhead, while wearing a tie,
\nPut his hand on a young lady’s thigh.
\nHe was somewhat a louse,
\nAs she wasn’t his spouse:
\n“Always ready” but not “semper fi.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bob Dvorak:<\/p>\n

A fellow was wearing a tie:
\nVery long, it ran down to his fly.
\nAsk him why, he just sighs
\nAnd then gently replies,
\n“Comes in handy, to wipe her mouth dry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

I got asked by a guy in a tie
\nWhere my sexual preferences lie.
\nWas I straight? Was I gay?
\n“Well I guess I would say
\nThat I do just enough to get bi.”<\/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
