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 WILL T. LAUGHLIN,<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

The plan? Get a stripper to break
\nThrough the icing, and jump from the cake.
\nBut we blew it, I fear.
\nSo remember: next year,
\nPut the woman in AFTER we bake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to JANE SHELTON HOFFMAN and MARK KANE, who tie in winning this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for their respective limericks which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman: <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in your car, you should brake
\nWhenever you come to a lake,
\nCause cars cannot go
\nInside H20,
\nAnd you can\u2019t attend your own wake.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark Kane:<\/p>\n

Dear hubby, please take a short break.
\nRemember the deal: Give and Take?
\nI’m sensing your need,
\nBut please don’t proceed,
\nUntil you are sure I’m awake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Chris Doyle, Steve Whitred<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Allen Wilcox, and Tim James. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

These tools have a bond we can’t break
\nSince by nature they’re both on the make.
\nSo you’ll see them all day
\nIn the field making hay–
\nThat’s the way of a hoe and a rake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred: <\/p>\n

A golfer could not catch a break
\nFrom the bogeys he’d frequently make.
\nThough his goal was to scratch
\nEv’ry hole in the match,
\nIn the end he just couldn’t par take.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

Count Dracula, taking a break
\nAt a restaurant, made a mistake.
\nHe thought that \u2018filet\u2019
\nWas the dish of the day,
\nBut they gave him instead a big stake.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox: <\/p>\n

A woman was trying to break
\nA habit that made her heart ache.
\nShe slept when friends died.
\n\u201cI can\u2019t help it,\u201d she cried.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s so hard to awake at a wake.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

A bottle blonde just couldn\u2019t break
\nHer compulsion to go on the make.
\nThe old rich guys she\u2019d bed
\nHad their egos well fed
\n\u2018Cause her hair wasn\u2019t all that she\u2019d fake.<\/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
