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 ANN MARTIN<\/a>, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A philosopher covered in ink
\nClaimed \u201cI know I exist ’cause I think,\u201d
\nBut Ren\u00e9 was so grubby
\nHis wife told her hubby,
\n\u201cI know you exist, ’cause you stink.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ann Martin’s philosophy limerick is also in a tie with this funny limerick by SUE DULLEY to jointly win the Facebook Friends’ Choice Award:<\/p>\n

My fountain pen’s run out of ink,
\nMy VCR’s gone on the blink.
\nI think one fine day
\nI’ll just sail away
\nAnd pray that my raft doesn’t sink.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, Jane Shelton Hoffman, and Tim James. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

We’re anxiously watching the ink
\nIn hopes it confirms what we think.
\nWe erupt into cheers
\nWhen the plus sign appears.
\nNow’s the question of blue or of pink.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

I\u2019m changing my name to \u201cWill, Inc.\u201d
\nAs a corporate person, I think
\nI can do as I please:
\nPay no taxes or fees,
\nAnd take dumps in the water you drink.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz: <\/p>\n

A limerick written in ink
\nRequires the writer to think.
\nIf instead, he just scribbles
\nThere’s bound to be quibbles:
\nBoth meter and rhyming will stink.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond: <\/p>\n

I devoted today’s bit of ink
\nTo that well-endowed, trash-tweeting fink
\nWho, OK, likes to sext,
\nBut maintains he\u2019s the next
\nMayor Koch (squeeze an “r” in, wink, wink).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

A woman was trying to ink
\nA diet to make people shrink.
\nBut this was a dream
\nFor her love of ice cream
\nMeant without it she just could not think!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

The GOP gets lots of ink
\nAs they try with great effort to link
\nThe prez to a scandal
\n(A job they can\u2019t handle).
\nWho\u2019s running this crew? Colonel Klink?<\/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
