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

Two businessmen plying their trade
\nGot caught up in an IRS raid.
\nSeems these ten-year-old crooks
\nHadn’t kept proper books:
\nThey were bootlegging pure lemonade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Colleen Murphy<\/a>, Dave Johnson, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Michael Alan Rosson, and Will T. Laughlin.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

She was lying quite nude in the shade
\nWhen the soldiers marched by on parade.
\nOne came to attention.
\nI\u2019d better not mention
\nThe weapon he proudly displayed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Colleen Murphy: <\/p>\n

The troops had conducted the raid
\nBut their targets withstood, unafraid.
\nThough the Boy Scouts rehearsed,
\nFoes would not be coerced,
\nFor the Daisies were truly first grade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re down in the county of Dade;
\nTo Haulover Beach they have strayed.
\nClothing-optional\u2019s where
\nThey\u2019ll wander and stare
\nAt the boobies and butts on parade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Mother\u2019s Day special parade
\nWill be canceled,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019m afraid.
\nBut our scheduling guy
\nWas a little bit high,
\nAnd his calendar left us dis-Mayed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael Alan Rosson: <\/p>\n

\u2019Round the house the old man was dismayed
\nWhen his semi-nude wife would parade.
\nHe did not so much care
\nWhat she did\/did not wear–
\nHe just hated the brass band that played.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson: <\/p>\n

A bagpiper — Angus Kincaid
\nHad his moment at this year\u2019s parade.
\nHe was over a vent,
\nWay up his kilt went;
\nThree ladies then rushed to his aid.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will T. Laughlin: (for his BAD DATE)<\/p>\n

\u201cSigh. I\u2019ll bet he wants nookie in trade
\nFor the horrible meal that he made\u2026
\nI\u2019ll lay odds ten to one
\nThat he\u2019ll grin when he\u2019s done
\nLike he wants me to throw a parade!\u201d\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
