It’s time to announce the TWO-HUNDREDTH Limerick of the Week based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in last week’s Limerick-Off<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Congratulations to PATRICE STEWART A\/K\/A PATRICE OF THE MANYCATS, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

The crew was refusing to clap
\nFor the actors and muttered, \u201cWhat crap.
\nWe feel sick \u2013 lunch was bad!
\nWe’re not sure what we had.”
\nAnd were told, with disgust, \u201cIt\u2019s a wrap.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Scott Crowder, Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Jon Gearhart, Brian Allgar, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Tim James, and David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:
\nScott Crowder:<\/p>\n

A gal heard a thunderous clap
\nAnd felt something warm in her lap.
\nShe’d found, so it seems,
\nThe man of her dreams,
\nBut sadly, awoke from her nap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

I really had wanted to clap
\nWhen the speaker stopped moving her yap,
\nBut her speech was so boring
\nI guess I was snoring.
\nShe’d lectured me into a nap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Gearhart:<\/p>\n

Sherlock Holmes was inspecting the gap
\nTwixt the legs of yo mama when, “Snap!”
\nHer legs clamped around him.
\nThat’s where Watson found him;
\nHe died in “The Case of the Clap.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

\u201cHow on earth did I pick up the clap?\u201d
\nShe beseeched a young medical chap.
\n\u201cIf you really don\u2019t know,\u201d
\nHe said, \u201cWell, let me show
\nYou this human anatomy map.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz: <\/p>\n

Said Ludwig, “Four notes make a clap
\nOf thunderous fate that will wrap
\nYour soul in a tower
\nOf musical power.”
\nSaid his musical rival, “What crap!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

A paradigm shift\u2019s when you scrap
\nAll your old preconceptions as crap.
\nWith Mad\u2019s new rhymes appearing,
\nIt\u2019s akin to my hearing
\nRice Krispies go pock, snapple, clap.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s considered uncultured to clap
\nAt the symphony during a gap.
\nWhen the fiddlers pause
\nJust hold your applause
\nAnd don\u2019t wake me up from my nap.<\/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
