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

Ah’m a-huntin’ for deer in my truck,
\nBut this air rifle’s brung me no luck.
\nGrab a shotgun instead,
\nShoot a twelve-pointer dead.
\nGet a little more bang for my buck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Bruce Niedt<\/a>, who wins the Special Halloween-Themed Limerick Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

“A Halloween full moon is neat,”
\nThought the werewolf, “I’ll go trick-or-treat!
\nThey’ll think it’s a mask,
\nSo they won’t even ask–
\nI’ll come home with a bag full of meat!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

She hired Two Men And A Truck
\nWhen her marriage had run all amok.
\nAs they set up her bed,
\nTo the movers she said,
\n“Would you under the covers me…tuck?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Jamie Hutchinson, Steve Whitred<\/a>, Chris Doyle, John Ramos<\/a>, Kathy El-Assal, Kirk Miller, and Craig Dykstra. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

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

The immigrant hid in a truck
\nAnd over the border he snuck,
\nLured by promise of wealth
\nAnd good care for his health.
\nYou guessed it. He\u2019s now a Canuck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jamie Hutchinson:<\/p>\n

A croc said that she\u2019d have no truck
\nWith a toothless old muckety-muck:
\n\u201cWhen the waterfowl light
\nAnd the time\u2019s right to bite
\nA good bull puts his rows in a duck.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

Being born in the back of a truck
\nUp in Canada isn’t bad luck:
\nIn the fall they haul hay.
\nIn the snow, they’re our sleigh.
\nAnd in summertime that’s where we … (I’m not writing that word on Mad’s blog.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

“Try the brownies out back in my truck.
\nThey’re the bomb; you’ve no need for Cold Duck,”
\nSaid the host with a wink
\nTo a gal with a drink.
\n“There’s a reason this party’s potluck.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Ramos: <\/p>\n

A positive thinker named Steve
\nStalked his victims on All Hallows\u2019 Eve;
\n\u201cTo you, it\u2019s an ax,\u201d
\nHe explained between whacks,
\n\u201cBut to me, it\u2019s a goal to achieve.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kathy El-Assal:<\/p>\n

For Halloween, at her new school,
\nShould she dress as a zombie or ghoul?
\nA vampire, a ghost?
\nOr maybe just boast,
\n“I’m Coultergeist, Tea Party tool!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller: <\/p>\n

\u201cAnonymous writers don\u2019t like
\nThe wages they\u2019re offered,\u201d said Mike.
\n\u201cIf they don\u2019t get more green,
\nThen on this Halloween
\nThe ghost writers threaten to strike.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

I got cookies from guys dressed like genies,
\nAnd some Snickers\u00ae from girls in bikinis.
\nBut I didn’t want food
\nFrom that politics dude–
\nCarlos Danger was handing out weenies.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m spreading the Halloween news
\nConcerning which party to choose.
\nMine\u2019s bound to be dandy
\nWith free food and candy,
\nBut people should bring their own boos.<\/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
