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

The King found it more to his taste
\nThat his wives have their noggins displaced,
\nSo when Anne Boleyn said
\n“May I offer thee head?”
\nHenry grinned, and assured her “Thou may’st.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, Edmund Conti, Frank Osen, Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Susan Settje<\/a>, and Jon Gearhart. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Tim James: <\/p>\n

The meal had a savory taste
\nAnd the cooking-show judges embraced
\nAnd enjoyed ev\u2019ry course
\nWith no clue it was horse.
\nDid it win? It did not, but it placed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Edmund Conti: <\/p>\n

You\u2019re finding you\u2019re using poor taste
\nIn composing these lim\u2019ricks post-haste.
\nDon\u2019t get angry, get Mad.
\nShe\u2019ll critique just a tad
\nAnd adjust a syl-LA-ble misplaced.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Frank Osen: <\/p>\n

A fellow with terrible taste,
\nSaid, when asked why he ate only paste:
\n\u201cWell, I used to make stews
\nFrom the stuff in my loos,
\nbut I found that a horrible waste.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

The gigolo thought he should taste
\nFor a bit, what it\u2019s like to be chaste.
\nBut with minutes gone by
\nHe then asked himself why
\nHe would put his fine package to waste.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

That Congressman left a bad taste
\nOf obstruction, corruption, and waste.
\n“So he lost?” You’re mistaken.
\nHe brought home the bacon,
\nSo he beat each opponent he faced.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Susan Settje: <\/p>\n

As a school girl, I sought out the taste
\nin that sweet little jar of white paste.
\nThen I caught my first scent
\nOf some rubber cement
\nAnd all thoughts of that paste were erased.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

The recipe’s terrible taste
\nWas in need of a change, and posthaste.
\nI found that the dish
\nHad the taste of bad fish,
\nSo I found a good fish and re-plaiced!<\/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, which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.<\/p>\n
