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 WILL T. LAUGHLIN,<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCan you tell me,\u201d the funnyman quips
\n(A self-satisfied smirk on his lips,
\nAnd with giggles a-boil),
\n\u201cWhy the moon\u2019s like a mohel?
\n\u2019Cause \u2019e goes to your son, and \u2019e clips!\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Tim James, Byron Miller a\/k\/a Errol Nimbly, Scott Crowder, and Will T. Laughlin<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

The plumber used solder and clips,
\nAnd wrenches and pliers and grips.
\nHe made quite a racket,
\nAnd charged me a packet,
\nBut STILL that confounded tap drips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Her co-workers suck: They eclipse
\nBright ideas from anyone’s lips.
\nA collection of hacks!
\nLike a bowl full of snacks,
\nThis poor gal is surrounded by dips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Byron Miller:<\/p>\n

Mid-movie she gets up and skips
\nTo the snack bar for chocolaty chips.
\nAs she passes the screen
\nShe then adds to the scene
\nThe effect of a lunar eclipse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

The gambler has run out of chips,
\nAnd his bill-folds are just empty clips.
\n\u201cCan I wager with sex?
\nShe’s as stacked as your decks,
\nAnd you\u2019re welcome to poker,\u201d he quips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scott Crowder:<\/p>\n

She slowly removes her hair clips
\nAnd sensuously gyrates and strips,
\nYet causes him worry;
\nIf she doesn’t hurry,
\nHe’ll finish before he unzips.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

The thrills of Las Vegas eclipse
\nGood sense and economy. Trips
\nFor a Teachers\u2019 Convention
\nToo often to mention
\nTurn into \u201cGoodbye, Mr. Chips.\u201d<\/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
