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

Said Irene to Eileen, \u201cAm I late?\u201d
\nSaid Eileen to Irene, \u201cI\u2019m irate!
\nI lean in the lane
\nAll alone in the rain \u2013
\nOh what wicked wet weather to wait!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

They had lent at so monstrous a rate
\nThat it couldn\u2019t be paid by the date,
\nFor the interest fee
\nWas twice GNP,
\nSo the bankers now own the Greek state.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

A guy found a lady first-rate,
\nSo he asked if she\u2019d go on a date.
\nBut she snapped, \u201cYou chew gum,
\nAnd it makes you look dumb!\u201d
\nSo he\u2019ll stay home and just mast…icate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller:<\/p>\n

Though the woman heard goose was first rate
\nAt the bistro, supposedly great,
\nThe cook carelessly plucked
\nThe main course; it was mucked.
\nShe felt down in the mouth when she ate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

A mistress grew very irate;
\nHer lover was chronically late.
\nOne night, he would find
\nHer gift left behind:
\nA patient, inflatable mate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pedro Poitevin:<\/p>\n

Behold my inflatable mate:
\nHer buttocks are truly first-rate!
\nI think that I must
\nRelease all my lust
\nBefore I begin to deflate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Donald Trump, at the Heavenly Gate
\n(Where Saint Peter had asked why he\u2019d rate
\nAn entrance therein),
\nSaid, \u201cIf Pride is a sin,
\nThen it\u2019s God\u2019s fault he made me so great!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phil Graham:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping to finally sate
\nMy sex drive before it\u2019s too late.
\nAll the dollars I\u2019ve paid
\nTo those whores to get laid
\nHave my wife acting very irate.<\/p>\n

When we last bared our bodies to mate,
\nCan\u2019t remember just how it did rate.
\nBut my wife blew her chance
\nFor steamy romance.
\nIf she\u2019d blown something else, I\u2019d be great!<\/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
