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

James Bond found his bride to be cold,
\nAn ice queen to have and to hold.
\nShe would hector and nag,
\nSo he ditched her, the hag.
\nHe\u2019s the spy who came in from the scold.<\/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

My girl-friend complained of the cold
\n(\u201cSolar heating\u201d – that crap I\u2019d been sold!)
\nBut although it was snowing,
\nI soon got her glowing
\nBy time-honored methods of old.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Jason Talbott<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, and Jon Gearhart. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Jason Talbott:<\/p>\n

It is getting a little bit cold.
\nUncomfortably so, truth be told.
\nThe consignment shop coat
\nKeeps me warm waist to throat,
\nBut I sure miss my pants (which I sold.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

Her feet were so bitterly cold
\nIn midwinter; she found when she strolled
\nThat the snow hurt her toes.
\nWell, no wonder they froze,
\nFor the shoes that she\u2019d bought were not soled.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Miller: <\/p>\n

“Wrap your scarf so you don’t catch a cold.”
\nEvery year, by my wife, I’m retold.
\nThough I’ve tried to tell Iris
\nColds come from a virus,
\nFor her, this just never gets old.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

My wife can be wickedly cold,
\nDomineering, and strikingly bold,
\nBut she doesn’t scare me
\nCause I’m totally free
\nTo always do just what I’m told!<\/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
