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

By a grizzled old pig, I was gored.
\nAs I waited for succor, I roared.
\nIt was not the damned pain,
\nBut emotional strain,
\n‘Cause I really do hate being bored.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Tim James, Christopher Finch Reynolds<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Robert Schechter<\/a>, Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, and Kevin Ahern<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

The gambler went out of his gourd
\nWhen the guy from the other team scored.
\nHe had wagered his spouse,
\nPlus his truck and his house.
\nWhat on earth would he do with no Ford?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

A woman went out of her gourd
\nAs her paramour noisily snored.
\nAfter sex, though, she found
\nThat he made not a sound,
\nSo each night ever after he scored.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Christopher Finch Reynolds: <\/p>\n

A versatile fruit is the gourd:
\nIt’s a pot in which liquid is stored,
\nWhile in China the sages
\nKept crickets in cages,
\nAs gourd music, when stringed, struck a chord.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

The candidate ended \u201cAl Gore\u2019d\u201d;
\nIn the popular vote, he\u2019d outscored,
\nBut a few dimpled chads
\nFixed by Jeb and his lads
\nMeant that Dubbya got the reward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter: <\/p>\n

I went to Pamplona, was gored,
\nThen trampled beneath a great horde,
\nBut no, I’m not whining.
\nThere’s this silver lining:
\nFor once I can’t say I was bored.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Miller: <\/p>\n

On our quest for the ultimate gourd,
\nWe went driving upstate in our Ford;
\nWhere we wandered like bumpkins
\nThrough fields of ripe pumpkins;
\nOur children’s delight, the reward.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kevin Ahern: <\/p>\n

Norwegians bored out of their gourd
\nSeek vacations to provide them reward,
\nSo everyone chooses
\nTo go out on cruises.
\nIt’s something they all can a fjord.<\/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
