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

\nShe had warts, but she wasn’t half bad,
\nSo they made the short hop to his pad.
\nHis intention to jump \u2019er
\nIs now in the dumper:
\nShe laughed ’cause his pole’s just a tad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Phil Graham<\/a>, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Dave Johnson, Tim James, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, and Robert Schechter<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Phil Graham: <\/p>\n

A fam’ly of dwarves was quite glad
\nTo be told a developer had
\nBuilt a home for them, small,
\nCosting nothing at all!
\nIt was called “The Stay-free Mini-pad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

“Before we make love, don’t be mad.”
\nHe responded, “I’ve felt your bra pad.”
\nShe replied with a laugh,
\n“Hah! You don’t know the half.
\nThe fact is my birth name was Brad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

\nCanaan, Cush, Phut and Mizraim would pad
\nThrough the paddy-fields feeling quite sad.
\nEating nothing but rice
\nIsn\u2019t terribly nice
\nWhen \u2018Ham\u2019 is the name of your dad.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re young & you’re told you were bad,
\nJust write it all down on a pad.
\nAfter years have gone by,
\nYou can read it and try
\nTo re-live all the good times you had.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Many women, all scantily clad,
\nHave been seen coming out of his pad.
\nYou can call him a rake,
\nBut since rubber can break,
\nHe now goes by another name: Dad.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

As my way through the city I pad,
\nI notice this theater ad:
\nBROKEBACK MT \u2014 SWEET NOVEMBER
\nA WALK TO REMEMBER.
\nI call that a Marquee de Sad!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter: <\/p>\n

My spark plugs just told me they’re sad.
\nI asked them, “But what is so bad?”
\n“We’re homeless, you see,
\nBut why should this be
\nWhen even the brakes have a pad?”<\/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
