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 DAWN EPSTEIN<\/a>, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A woman expected to fret
\nWhen her husband brought home a Corvette,
\nBut she soon was elated;
\nThe car had inflated
\nHis under-extended pipette.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to KEVIN AHERN<\/a>, who wins this week’s Facebook Friends’ Choice Award for this limerick which received the most Facebook “likes.”<\/p>\n

The fisherman now will not fret.
\nHe’s in love with a lovely coquette
\nAnd knows that this lass
\nWill help him catch bass
\nCuz he learned that her name is Annette.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Kirk Miller, Byron Ives, Tim James, Way2fractious a\/k\/a Noisemaker<\/a>, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Allen Wilcox, and Jon Gearhart. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is really no reason to fret,
\nYour retriever is fine,\u201d said the vet,
\n\u201cBut I fear you are not,
\nFor your nose is quite hot
\nWhen it ought to be chilly and wet.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller: <\/p>\n

If the turf on your lawn dies, don\u2019t fret.
\nSimply go to a sod farm. I\u2019ll bet
\nThey will have what you need.
\nYou don\u2019t have to plant seed.
\nInstant grassification you\u2019ll get.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Ives: <\/p>\n

Mr. Favre told his players, \u201cDon\u2019t fret
\nWe\u2019re down by eight points, but I\u2019m BRETT.
\nWe\u2019ve less than a minute
\nBut we\u2019re gonna win it,
\nAs soon as I sext that brunette.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James: <\/p>\n

\nA trapeze artist tended to fret
\n\u2019Cause as partners he only could get
\nGals named Nancy and Claire.
\nAs he spun through the air,
\nHe so wanted to work with Annette.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Way2fractious:<\/p>\n

At the opera, Mame started to fret
\nThat she may have misplaced her lorgnette,
\nBut the music she heard
\nSounded really absurd.
\nWas that 8-track or maybe cassette?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Though Republicans claim that they fret
\nAt the size of the National Debt,
\nJust promise one more
\nIrresistible war
\nAnd observe how excited they get.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox:<\/p>\n

A fellow was starting to fret
\nThat his memr\u2019y was starting to get
\nA bit odd now and then,
\nEspecially when
\nHe forgot what he hoped to forget.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

Fingers press the right string to each fret;
\nStrumming lightly, our love song you’ll get.
\nSuch melodious tones
\nHarmonize with your moans
\nAs I tickle your G-string, my pet.<\/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
