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 David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A gander was taking a peek
\nAt a goose with a bright orange beak:
\n“I’m a regular chap
\nWho won’t easily flap,
\nBut her waddle is making me weak.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Ira Bloom and Diane Groothuis, who are tied in winning this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for their respective limericks, which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

Ira Bloom:<\/p>\n

A fellow was sneaking a peek,
\nAt a gal with an awesome physique.
\nSuch a treat for the eyes!
\nPerfect breasts! Perfect thighs!
\nIt’s too bad that his prospects were bleak.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis: <\/p>\n

Cinderella was taking a peek
\nAt Prince Charming, so handsome and sleek,
\nAnd later that night
\nWhen she rushed home in fright,
\nHe brought her a shoe from Lalique.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Robert Schechter, Craig Dykstra, Tim James, Kevin Ahern<\/a>, Phyllis LaVietes, Chris Doyle, Robert Basler<\/a>, and Kirk Miller. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Robert Schechter:<\/p>\n

I covered my eyes, did not peek,
\nWhen the two of us played hide and seek,
\nAnd you hid really well.
\nThe way I can tell?
\nYou’ve been gone now for more than a week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

He had wanted to get just a peek,
\nAt her cleavage so tan, soft and sleek.
\nBut his fingers had flown
\nWith a mind of their own–
\nNow his cast won’t come off ’til next week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

A gal at her physical peak
\nCan make love twenty times in a week.
\nIn my youth that was nifty,
\nBut now that I\u2019m fifty
\nBe careful. You\u2019ll break this antique.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kevin Ahern: <\/p>\n

My mother developed a pique
\nAt the mouse in our house’s physique.
\nThe thing that inflames
\nHer most are its games;
\nIt likes to play hide and go squeak.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phyllis LaVietes: <\/p>\n

A woman was sneaking a peek
\nAt the limerick theme for next week.
\nShe said, \u201cI will show \u2018em,
\nI\u2019m writing a poem,
\nFor the prize won\u2019t be won by the meek!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

At a ball in Dushanbe, I peek
\nAt the gentlemen’s fox trot technique,
\nThen fall flat on my ass
\nWhen a comely young lass
\nMakes a pass as we dance cheek Tajik.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Basler: <\/p>\n

A fellow was climbing a peak.
\nTo get to the top took a week.
\nHe said, with a frown
\n“It is much quicker down.
\n“I just untie this knot, then I — eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller: <\/p>\n

He would count to one hundred, not peek.
\nDr. Jekyll was rather unique.
\nSomewhere deep in his mind,
\nAlter ego he\u2019d find
\nWhen the doctor would play Hyde and seek.\n<\/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
