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

If you\u2019re tired at the wheel, I suggest
\nThat you stop at a trooper’s behest.
\nAnd if ordered to nap,
\nDon’t refuse, because . . . zap!
\nYou’ll be tased for resisting a rest.<\/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

I know I just said, not in jest,
\nThat I planned to give lim\u2019ricks a rest,
\nBut that promise won\u2019t mute me:
\nI\u2019m back! OK, shoot me—
\nI\u2019m wearing my bullet-proof vest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) John Lawrence Ramos<\/a>, Brenda Bryant a\/k\/a Rinkly Rimes<\/a>, Chris Doyle, Steve Whitred<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, and Craig Dykstra. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

John Lawrence Ramos: <\/p>\n

At the diner, a man would ingest
\nHis romaine without pants, shirt or vest;
\nWhen the waitress looked pained,
\nHe politely explained
\nHe preferred his green salad undressed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brenda Bryant: <\/p>\n

A woman was speaking in jest
\nWhen she said, “All my sins are confessed.”
\nShe’d forgotten a few.
\nThat’s what girls tend to do
\nWhen their past simply can’t pass the test.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

A beekeeper tells me in jest
\nThat he plans, when he’s laid to his rest,
\nTo give all that he owns
\nTo his Queen and her drones,
\nThus completing his final bee-quest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

I once knew a girl who\u2019d suggest
\nShe was better in bed than the rest.
\nI said \u201cDon\u2019t mean to boast,
\nBut I\u2019m better than most.
\nWe should challenge ourselves to a test!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond: <\/p>\n

Don’t you hate it when folks say,”I jest!”
\nAfter putting your pride to the test?
\nHell, “I Jest!” just won\u2019t do
\nWhen “How was it for you?”
\nIs rejoined by “You looked better dressed!”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig:<\/p>\n

My gal went out joggin\u2019 but jest
\nWasn\u2019t close to approprit\u2019ly dressed.
\nGuys would run along side her
\nAs soon as they spied her—
\n\u2018Cause her top failed at keepin\u2019 abreast.<\/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
