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

A filcher of cookware did pick
\nAn attorney exceedingly slick.
\nWith no frippery, he’ll
\nDo a slippery deal
\nThat will make all the charges non-stick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

\u201cChoose a card, any card, take your pick,\u201d
\nSaid the conjurer doing his trick.
\nSo I pilfered his Visa,
\nThe silly old geezer,
\nAnd vanished from sight double-quick.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Chris Doyle, Steve Whitred<\/a>, Chris O\u2019Carroll, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Tim James, and Konrad Schwoerke. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Chris Doyle: <\/p>\n

“It’s Robin,” said Miley, “I’ll pick
\nTo perform with on stage in a shtick
\nWhere I’m bending and twerking,
\nSymbolically jerking
\nHim off.” Yes, she laid it on Thicke.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Whitred:<\/p>\n

George Carlin performed and said pick
\nThe appropriate place to say \u201cprick.\u201d
\nGo ahead, prick your finger,
\nBut if you malinger
\nAnd finger your prick, you\u2019re a hick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chris O’Carroll:<\/p>\n

A woman was trying to pick
\nWhich suitor to date. She mused, \u201cMick
\nIs well hung; so is Nick;
\nWhereas Brick\u2019s smaller dick
\nIs offset by a bankroll that\u2019s thick.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Today\u2019s GOP tends to pick
\nIts facts from attacks that will stick.
\nNow history shows
\nThey were picking their Knows
\nWhile the planet grew terribly sick.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t too prudent to pick
\nUp a six-pack and knock it back quick.
\nBut there\u2019s no need to fear;
\nI don\u2019t bet gunk from dreer.
\nSo I\u2019m sone stober, Ocifer (*hic*).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Konrad Schwoerke:<\/p>\n

If it’s sex you crave, Leila’s my pick,
\nAnd the toys she employs are so slick.
\nThough she’s often engaged,
\nYou can still have her paged.
\nThat’s cuz Leila does not miss a trick.<\/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
