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

In building, like love, don’t be rash
\nBy beginning to screw in a flash.
\nFirst, be gentle and drill
\nTender holes with your Skil,
\nSo you won’t split that nice piece of ash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Christopher Finch Reynolds<\/a>, David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a>, Konrad Schwoerke, Scott Crowder, and Shannon Tucker.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

Dear Jilted, do not act too rash
\nBy tossing his goods in the trash.
\nThough your heart may be hurting,
\nIt’s eased by converting
\nHis better belongings to cash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

His back had developed a rash
\nWhere his mistress had wielded the lash.
\n“Killer bees!” he tried lying –
\nHis wife wasn’t buying,
\nAnd bundled him out with the trash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christopher Finch Reynolds: <\/p>\n

Our approach to the climate is rash:
\nAs rain forests burn in a flash,
\nOur future ambition,
\n“Less carbon emission,”
\nIs forgotten when we want more cash.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David McCormick:<\/p>\n

\u201cDear Sirs, Your new ointment \u2018STOP RASH!\u2019
\nRemoved all my pubes! It\u2019s just trash!\u201d …
\n\u201cDear Madam, Our pills
\n\u2018GET PUBES!\u2019 fix such ills\u201d …
\n\u201cDear Sirs, Now I\u2019ve grown a moustache!\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Konrad Schwoerke:<\/p>\n

There are some who will think that it’s rash
\nSaying super type heroes are trash
\nIn the sack, but it’s true.
\nThey’re not better than you,
\nIf they’re coming as quick as the Flash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder:<\/p>\n

A gal was upset by a rash
\nThat was six inches south of her sash,
\nBut happened to learn
\nit was just whisker burn,
\nSo she made her man shave his mustache.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shannon Tucker: <\/p>\n

A beech and a birch were quite rash,
\nAnd the beech said, “I’ll bet you some cash
\n“That sapling is mine.”
\nSaid the birch, “I decline.”
\nSaid the woodpecker, “Nice piece of ash!”<\/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
