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

A baker I met buying bread
\nMust love how I treat him in bed:
\nHas “Fredrico Fellini”
\nTattooed on his weenie,
\nBut his wife thinks it only says Fred.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Do lim\u2019ricks attract the ill-bred?
\nI can only infer from Craig’s spread:
\nIf your reader can’t chew it
\nTattoo it or screw it,
\nForget it, you ain’t got no cred.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Sue Dulley and Will T. Laughlin, who jointly win a special Limerick Repartee Award for this limerick exchange:<\/p>\n

Sue Dulley:<\/p>\n

A guy from the States, not ill-bred,
\nTo a person from Canada said:
\nIf you must pronounce Zee
\nLike it’s spelt Z-E-D,
\nThen why not say “A-Bed-Ced-Ded?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will T. Laughlin: <\/p>\n

Dear Sue: In the U.S. we\u2019re bred
\nTo say \u2018zee\u2019 where all others say \u2018zed\u2019:
\n\u201cA-Bed-Ced\u201d is absurd,
\nOr our hymn would be heard
\nAt the ball game: \u201cOh, say, can you said?\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) RJ Clarken<\/a>, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Jim Gallagher<\/a> Stephen Gold, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Bone<\/a>, Steve Whitred<\/a>, and Sue Dulley. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Rj Clarken: <\/p>\n

A gal who was rather ill-bred
\nSought lessons, since she was unread.
\nSo with rain found in Spain
\nShe became more urbane,
\n\u2018Though the song is still stuck in her head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

A limerick contest on bread
\nHurts this Pesach observer’s poor head.
\nLet’s revolt against Kane
\nFor causing such pain
\nAnd write some on matzo instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jim Gallagher: <\/p>\n

He wryly de-floured her bread,
\nThen kneaded her sweet rolls instead.
\nHe started to tickle
\nHer sweet pumpernickel,
\nCarawaying her right into bed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stephen Gold: <\/p>\n

A man who was rather ill-bred
\nTold his girl he would love to be wed.
\nWhen she sighed,”I would too,”
\nHe replied, “Not to you!”
\nAnd went off with her sister instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will T. Laughlin: <\/p>\n

They woke up their roommate ill-bred:
\n\u201cGet up! Carpe diem!\u201d they said.
\nHe replied, \u201cCarpe NOCTEM,\u201d
\nRolled over, and shocked \u2018em:
\nTheir girlfriends were with him in bed!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bone: <\/p>\n

A fellow who liked to bake bread
\nWas suddenly filled with great dread.
\nHis wife\u2019s yeast infection
\nCause great circumspection.
\nNow he uses self-rising instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

A woman who liked to bake bread
\nMet a pottery artist named Ted.
\nNow he butters her rolls
\nAnd she fondles his bowls,
\nWhile his kiln and her oven glow red.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sue Dulley: <\/p>\n

Some people lived mostly on bread
\nAnd much of the time went unfed.
\nThey appealed to ‘la reine’
\nTo help with their pain.
\nAll she told them was, eat cake instead.<\/p>\n

I went to the Safeway for bread.
\nIt made sense what Marie A. had said!
\nThe pound cake cost less
\nThan a loaf, so I guess…
\nNo more toast, I’ll make trifle instead.<\/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
