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

Our lab rat, for cheese, ran 10Ks,
\nBut of late appears lost in a daze.
\nHe has yet to complete
\nThis new task, and won’t eat
\nIf he doesn’t start wending his maze.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations once again to CHRIS DOYLE, who wins this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for this limerick which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

“This plant deserves more than okays,”
\nRev’rend Spooner said, sparing no praise.
\n“See its mesh of racemes?
\nThat is part of God’s schemes,
\nFor He works in wisteria’s maze.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Ira Bloom, Brian Allgar, Konrad Schwoerke, Val Fish, Jane Shelton Hoffman, and Will T. Laughlin.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Ira Bloom:<\/p>\n

The evangelists shouted okays,
\nTo the plot to bring on End of Days,
\nBy converting the Jews.
\n(When my tribe got the news,
\nWe responded with countless oy veys).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

Pascal wouldn\u2019t wait for okays;
\nHis ideas never ceased to amaze.
\nHe would tell the discerning:
\n\u201cMy mind is just burning
\nWith notions \u2013 in fact, I\u2019m a Blaise.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Konrad Schwoerke: <\/p>\n

Instead of some paltry okays,
\nMy invention will garner high praise.
\nIt’s a fission pipe lighter;
\nA real hot igniter,
\nSo surely in glory I’ll blaze.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Val Fish: <\/p>\n

A fellow was dating two Kays
\nAnd saw them on alternate days.
\nDouble-booked them one night.
\nAn ensuing cat fight
\nSaw the end of his two-timing ways.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jane Shelton Hoffman:<\/p>\n

A fellow is dating two Kays
\nBut they differ in notable ways.
\nOne has him dance nude
\nTo build up the mood.
\nThe other one lies there and bays.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

The artist pronounced his okays
\nAs he finished the painting with glaze.
\nBut it aged where it hung
\nWhile the subject stayed young,
\nFor the portrait was Dorian Gray\u2019s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

We applaud when the Head Chef okays
\nHis filets in a veal demi-glaze.
\nAs he sends out the plate,
\nCries the ma\u00eetre d\u2019: \u201cWait!
\nMr. Trump says it needs mayonnaise!\u201d\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
