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

His feathery ass was at stake,
\nAnd about to get reamed in the lake:
\n\u201cGet off of my back,
\nYou near-sighted quack.
\nI\u2019m not a damn hen, I\u2019m a drake!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Robert Schechter<\/a>, Jon Gearhart, Allen Wilcox, and Tim James. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

I was trying to swallow the steak
\nFor the love of my marriage’s sake.
\nBut my teeth couldn’t weather
\nThe texture of leather.
\nIt’s one thing I just couldn’t fake!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

A fellow was driving a stake
\nThrough Count Dracula\u2019s heart \u2013 piece of cake! –
\nWhen he felt \u2013 what the heck? \u2013
\nA sharp pain in his neck.
\n\u201cSurprise!\u201d said the Count, \u201cI\u2019m awake!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter: <\/p>\n

As a vegan, I never eat steak.
\nBut I also hate “meat” that is fake.
\nAt dinner I’m left
\nFeeling hungry, bereft,
\nTill dessert when I fill up on cake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart: <\/p>\n

With the fate of the world’s oil at stake,
\nWe attacked the Mideast. Now we take
\nOur time to help build
\nUp new business. They’re thrilled
\nWhen we ask, “You want fries with that, Shaik?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox:<\/p>\n

Eve and Adam were munching on steak,
\nWhen along came a devilish snake.
\nWhen his fruit they dismissed,
\nIt grew angry and hissed,
\n\u201cOh, please take a bite for God\u2019s sake.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

I dine her on lobster and steak
\nWhile her eyes flash a lust that\u2019s not fake.
\nThen she promises more
\nAs her clothes hit the floor.
\nAnd at that exact moment \u2014 I wake.<\/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
