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 Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A bibbed patron sat eating deep-fried;
\nBattered chicken was piled high and wide.
\nI said, “Gawd, are you big,
\nYou Falstaffian pig!”
\n(My remark was, of course, an aside.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Scott Crowder:<\/p>\n

A man who liked food that was fried,
\nIn time became so thick and wide,
\nThat according to lore,
\nWhen he went to the shore,
\nHe would have an effect on the tide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra: <\/p>\n

This new gal gets my head kinda fried.
\nEvery time I want sex, I\u2019m denied!
\nYou would think it would suck
\nThat she don\u2019t like to \u2026 you know \u2026
\nBut she\u2019ll happily swallow my pride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, Yt cai, Jesse Levy<\/a>, and Jon Gearhart. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

In my youth I\u2019d eat anything fried;
\nIt\u2019s disgusting, the stuff that I tried.
\nCookies, Twinkies, and dough
\nMixed with cola … God no…
\nThose are mem\u2019ries I\u2019ve tried to elide.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yt cai:<\/p>\n

A seamstress\u2019s nerves were all fried
\nFrom dealing with one kinky bride.
\nShe finished the dress
\nUnder utmost duress
\nAs the patron was fit to be tied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesse Levy:<\/p>\n

A fellow was totally fried.
\nHe jumped off a building\u2019s top side.
\nBut he was still tripping
\nThrough gravity\u2019s gripping.
\nHis last words were: “Look, Ma. I flied!”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart (whose limerick is an acrostic): <\/p>\n

A woman shunned food that was fried
\nPrecisely because she has tried
\nReducing the rise
\nIn her increasing size.
\nLook left and her name I’ve supplied.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Those White Castle burgers are fried
\n\u2018Til the grease is all soaked through inside.
\nThose \u201csliders\u201d incense me.
\nGood taste, though, prevents me
\nFrom saying just where \u2019tis they slide.\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
