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 FRED BORTZ<\/a>, who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

Fred Bortz: <\/p>\n

The authorities turned up the heat
\nOn the ladies who walk on the street:
\n“You must lower your rates
\nFor your bus’nessman dates.
\nHow else can our city compete?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Sue Dulley, Dave Johnson, Diane Groothuis, and Phil Graham.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

They were frolicking in the back seat
\nLike a bitch and a mongrel in heat,
\nWhen a sudden bright light
\nGave the couple a fright.
\n\u201cMy turn next,\u201d said the cop on the beat.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sue Dulley:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a glutton for glutinous wheat;
\nAs a treat, toast and jam\u2019s hard to beat,
\nAnd I flee when I see
\nFood that\u2019s tagged \u201cgluten-free.\u201d
\n(There, I said it. Please don\u2019t give me heat!)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

They went to a swingers\u2019 retreat
\nAnd saw lots of couples in heat.
\nThere was a big dance
\nWhere no one wore pants;
\nThe members all swung to the beat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis:<\/p>\n

When sales-people turn up the heat,
\nI do what I can to retreat.
\nThey\u2019re trying their luck
\nTo make a quick buck.
\nAs for me, I just vote with my feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phil Graham:<\/p>\n

A woman turned white as a sheet
\nWhen her cop friend was not too discreet.
\nShe said, \u201cShow me your Glock.\u201d
\nWhat he heard, though, was \u201ccock.\u201d
\nSo he proved he was packing some heat.<\/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
