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

A teller of tales hit a snag
\nWhen one tale made his audience gag.
\nFrom then on he was screwed,
\nBecause everyone booed.
\n\u2019Twas a case where the tale dogged the wag.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) C. Adams, Kathy El-Assal, Brian Allgar, Robert Schechter<\/a>, Matt Regan, Andy Bassett<\/a>, Byron Ives, and Ron B. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

C. Adams:<\/p>\n

A man told his boss, \u201cThere\u2019s a snag.
\nOur servers are starting to lag.
\nWe must pull all the plugs!
\nOur site selling ‘thick rugs’
\nIs confused by men wanting a ‘shag!’\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kathy El-Assal: <\/p>\n

Her plans to win votes hit a snag,
\nCuz her rival would bluster and brag
\nOf deeds patriotic
\nAnd clearly psychotic,
\nThen wrap himself up in the flag.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

Absent-mindedness can be a snag;
\nMy penis is wrapped in a flag,
\nAnd it\u2019s tied in a knot,
\nTo remind me of what? —
\nOh, yes – must remember to shag.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter: <\/p>\n

My zipper got caught on a snag
\nWhen I zigged when I wanted to zag,
\nAnd my member popped free
\nFor the whole world to see
\nAs it waved in the wind like a flag.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Matt Regan: <\/p>\n

An engineer managed to snag
\nA ball-gown about which she\u2019d brag:
\n\u201cI knew in a minute
\nI\u2019d look perfect in it
\nWith my low co-efficient of drag.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Andy Bassett: <\/p>\n

A man told his boss \u201cThere\u2019s a snag —
\nWhen you stepped out last night for a drag
\nYour phrasing so British
\nMade statesiders skittish,
\nCuz you asked the desk clerk for a ‘fag.’\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Ives: <\/p>\n

Our golf outing hit a small snag;
\nBig Stu collapsed tending the flag.
\nNow what should we do?
\nWe hit, then lugged Stu–
\nThe rest of the round was a drag.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ron B.:<\/p>\n

A brash woman who managed to snag
\nA young farmer who majored in \u201cAg\u201d
\nSaid she gladly would yield
\nTo his plow in her field,
\nIf he kept all his seed in the bag.\n<\/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
