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

Rhett Butler reserved a nice suite
\nWhere he and Miss Scarlett could meet.
\nBut the bed had no linen.
\nThe maid explained, grinnin\u2019,
\n\u201cSir, frankly, I don\u2019t give a sheet!\u201d<\/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

Ferlinghetti thinks status is sweet,
\nAnd for Ginsberg, renown is a treat.
\nBut Jack Kerouac’s fame
\nBrings him obvious shame:
\nHe’s becoming, well, read as a Beat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a>, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Allen Wilcox, Scott Crowder, Robert Basler<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Andrew Ryan, and Diane Groothuis. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

David McCormick: <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve married a woman who\u2019s sweet,
\nOne who constantly keeps herself neat,
\nOne who cleans, one who cooks,
\nOne who\u2019s blessed with good looks.
\nI’m hoping these five never meet!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

The folks in the Honeymoon Suite
\nAre being a tad indiscreet.
\nSimple moans, groans and cries
\nCause the staff no surprise —
\nBut good god! What\u2019s the source of that bleat?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox: <\/p>\n

Bragged the artist, \u201cTo paint is so sweet.
\nSlopping gobs on the sidewalk\u2019s a treat.
\nI\u2019ve done Pollock one better;
\nAn opposites getter,
\nMy work\u2019s both abstract and concrete.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder:<\/p>\n

A man in the mood for a sweet,
\nIndulged in his favorite treat.
\nThough never a wuss,
\nHe’s now a big puss.
\nThey say that you are what you eat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Basler: <\/p>\n

“Mademoiselle, are you over dix-huit?”
\nI would ask all the French chicks I meet.
\nIf she’s 18 or older
\nI start to get bolder.
\nIf she’s not, then I’m out of there, VITE!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

At Halloween, saucy and sweet,
\nA young lady was trawling my street
\nAs the “Halloween Whore,”
\nSo I opened the door,
\nAnd the trick that she turned was a treat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Andrew Ryan: <\/p>\n

My girlfriend is terribly sweet,
\nAnd I tried to propose in a Tweet.
\nBut I\u2019ve just asked if she
\nWould marinate me.
\nGod-damn you dumb Auto-complete!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis:<\/p>\n

A cellist was playing a suite
\nBy Bach at a musical meet
\nTo tunes contrapuntal.
\nShe showed them full-frontal,
\nAnd they noted her boobs hit her feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Bach went, while composing his Suite,
\nTo a Gentlemen\u2019s Club for a treat.
\nAs he watched the girls dance,
\nInspiration (by chance)
\nSent him \u201cAir on the G-String,\u201d complete.<\/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

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please email Madkane@MadKane.com Subject: MadKane’s Newsletter<\/a>. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
