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 John Peter Larkin, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow who\u2019d frequently crab
\nComplained that his life was too drab.
\nThough he wasn\u2019t too bright,
\nI\u2019d say he was right.
\nCuz even his house was pre-fab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Said Brutus, “I don’t mean to crab,
\nBut, dear Caesar, your toga is drab.
\nYou need someone who knows
\nHow to pick out your clothes.
\nWould you mind if I gave it a stab?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Steve Whitred<\/a>, Kathy El-Assal, John Lawrence Ramos<\/a>, Chris Doyle, Fred Bortz<\/a>, and Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

A gal who was rather a crab
\nIn the bedroom was totally fab.
\nSo, despite all her grousing,
\nWe did so much ‘spousing’
\nThat grey shaded novel seemed drab.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Like lobster, its cousin the crab
\nIs a gourmet delight, so chefs nab
\nThese seafood crustaceans
\nFor bisque-like creations
\nSo rest’rants can soup up their tab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John Lawrence Ramos: <\/p>\n

Three bedbugs, two lice and a crab
\nConvened for a post-feeding gab.
\nOne thought he had seen
\nA new tick on their teen,
\nBut turned out, it was only a scab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Doyle<\/p>\n

I’m a gal who does not like to crab,
\nBut your ad said your body was fab.
\nSo explain to me how
\nWhat I’m looking at now
\nIs a guy with a six-pack of flab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz: <\/p>\n

They added the genes of a crab
\nTo a Doberman’s eggs in the lab.
\nNow here is the clincher:
\nThat dog bore a “Pincher”
\nWith claws on its paws that could grab.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Miller:<\/p>\n

He moves sideways at night, like a crab,
\nWhile he\u2019s looking for prey he can nab.
\nSo don\u2019t walk home alone;
\nHe\u2019s a dog; you\u2019re the bone;
\nAnd he\u2019s quick with his gift of the grab.<\/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
