It\u2019s Limerick-Off time, once again. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same rhyme word. Then you post your limerick(s) as a comment to this post and, if you\u2019re a Facebook user, on Facebook too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll join me in writing limericks using Meet or Meat or Mete at the end of any one line.<\/strong> (Homonyms or homophones are fine.)<\/p>\n

The best submission will be crowned Limerick-Off Award Winner. (Here\u2019s last week\u2019s Limerick-Off Award Winner<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Additionally,<\/strong> you may write themed limericks<\/strong> related to the Battle of the Sexes, using any rhyme scheme.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best Battle of the Sexes<\/strong>-related limerick.<\/p>\n

How will your poems be judged? By meter, rhyme, cleverness, and humor. (If you\u2019re feeling a bit fuzzy about limerick writing rules, here’s my How To Write A Limerick<\/em><\/a> article.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll announce the winners on February 19, 2017,<\/strong> right before I post the next Limerick-Off. So that gives you two full weeks<\/strong> to submit your clever, polished verse. Your submission deadline is Saturday, February 18, 2017 at 10:00 p.m. <\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my limerick: <\/p>\n

\nAfter coming in first at the meet,
\nThe winner announced, “I am beat!”
\nThis bewildered the crowd
\nWhich, till then, had been wowed:
\nWhat victor proclaims his defeat?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Please feel free to enter my Limerick-Off by posting your limerick(s) in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity on my Facebook Limerick-Off post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
