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

At the cheese plant, we all had to flee
\nFrom explosions they didn\u2019t foresee.
\nAt the end of the day,
\nHeard a newscaster say
\nThat the only thing left was de Brie.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Jon Gearhart, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Kirk Miller, and Byron Ives. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

Her brain was the size of a flea,
\nAnd she couldn\u2019t think how it could be
\nThat she needed to pay
\nFor the toilet that day,
\nWith the lock on the door showing FREE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits: <\/p>\n

There once was a Francophone flea
\nWho perched on a pooch in Paris.
\nNot a bit would he shrink
\nFrom what others may think:
\n“Une petite parasite? Oui, je suis!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

All my dogs have had many a flea.
\nIf I bug fleas or dogs, they’ll bite me
\nI have learned that it’s best
\nTo let sleeping dogs rest
\nAnd to also let leaping bugs be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

The audience threatened to flee
\nWhen I broke into Rose of Tralee.<\/em>
\n\u201cWell,\u201d said I, with a sneer,
\n\u201cWhat would YOU like to hear?\u201d
\nThen they all shouted: 4’33.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller:<\/p>\n

U.S. settlers forced natives to flee
\nAnd declared this the land of the free.
\nGave them parcels of land,
\nThen revoked it as planned.
\nWe were Indian givers, you see.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Ives: <\/p>\n

Here is when he decided to flee:
\nHe\u2019d slipped his hand up past her knee
\nAnd intended to nail her,
\nThen found her impaler.
\nGood God! She was longer than he!<\/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
