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 Tim James, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow had made quite a scene
\nIn the bath with his girlfriend Nadine.
\nAfter hot, soapy thrashing
\nAway he was dashing.
\nHe dumped her, and got away clean.<\/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

On the animal husbandry scene
\n(Where bionics is all but routine),
\nA zebu was bred
\nTo an aurochs, which led
\nTo the very first zerochs machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Kevin Ahern<\/a>, Kirk Miller, Chris Doyle, Michael Moulton, Byron Ives, and Brian Allgar. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

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

The diners were making a scene
\n\u2018Bout a fly in their fish soup tureen.
\nI can understand why:
\nIt\u2019s a Bluebottle fly,
\nAnd with fish soup, you always serve Green.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kevin Ahern: <\/p>\n

The zaniest thing that I\u2019ve seen
\nWas something I saw through the screen.
\nShe got lots of buzz.
\nThe reason? Because…
\nShe was a true comb humming queen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller: <\/p>\n

It is hard, as I\u2019m sure you have seen,
\nTo decipher and know what words mean.
\nThere\u2019s a word that I know
\nWhich means \u201chide,\u201d also \u201cshow,\u201d
\nContradictory meanings of \u201cscreen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

A leatherneck dad made a scene,
\nBlew his gasket and vented his spleen,
\nWhen his son, home on leave
\nFrom the Corps Christmas Eve,
\nDonned a dress colored aquamarine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mike Moulton: <\/p>\n

In New Jersey there was a great scene
\nAs the Seahawk’s defensive routine
\nBehind Pete Carroll’s brains
\nClosed more passing lanes
\nThan Chris Christie’s traffic machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Ives:<\/p>\n

The TSA agent on scene
\nWas ogling the x-ray machine:
\nSaw a ring in her nose,
\nSome bling on her toes,
\nAnd two bouncy gems in between.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

The Poet was making a scene:
\n\u201cThere\u2019s a corpse in my best Hippocrene!
\nWhat lunatic swine
\nCould have drowned in my wine?\u201d
\nGrumbled Keats, \u201cHe\u2019s a true Gadarene!\u201d<\/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
