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 WILL T. LAUGHLIN<\/a>, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

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

So why\u2019d the cathedral collapse?
\nI\u2019m afraid it\u2019s a clear story, chaps:
\nSome knave with a phone
\n(For reasons unknown)
\nAttempted to download the apse.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Jon Gearhart, Brian Allgar, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Jim Delaney, and Allen Wilcox. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

Into deep coma sleep he will lapse
\nAfter waking at 5, so perhaps
\nHe should go hit the head
\nRight that minute instead
\nOf him peeing at 6 while he naps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

A girl who loved sitting on laps
\nWas a tease who would tantalize chaps.
\nAs she squirmed and she wriggled,
\n“What’s this, then?” she giggled,
\n“A gun in your trousers, perhaps?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits: <\/p>\n

There once were some lanky old Lapps
\nWho ate what they caught in their traps;
\nThey’d fry Finnish fritters
\nFrom all of those critters
\nAnd fashion the furs into caps.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jim Delaney: <\/p>\n

A man on the verge of collapse
\nAsked advice from some medical chaps:
\n\u201cWill I live through the night?\u201d
\nThey confounded his fright
\nWith a calm, reassuring, \u201cPerhaps.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox, whose limerick can be read either as written, or in numerical order. He notes that “the numbers refer to the ‘real’ line order.”<\/p>\n

1. My memory\u2019s suffered a lapse.
\n5. To recover I have to take naps.
\n4. I start feeling deranged.
\n3. The lines are exchanged.
\n2. I have limerick line order gaps.<\/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
