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

Little Johnny, a not-too-bright tot,
\nGot some burns \u2019cuz the soup was so hot.
\nSaid his father, Big Brent,
\n\u201cSon, that\u2019s not what I meant
\nWhen I sent you to sit on the pot!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Ian Graham<\/a>, David Reddekopp, Brian Allgar, Fred Bortz<\/a>, and Kirk Miller. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Ian Graham: <\/p>\n

\u201cHey kettle, you\u2019re black,\u201d said the pot.
\n\u201cSo are you,\u201d said the kettle. \u201cWhy not?
\n\u201cI\u2019m willing to bet
\n\u201cWe\u2019re part of a set
\n\u201cWith that sizzling black saucepan. She\u2019s hot.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a dubious drug I have bought.
\nSince I tried it, I wish I had not.
\nWhat would anyone need
\nWith some laxative weed?
\nNow I can\u2019t get myself off the pot.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

She had spent the weekend on his yacht;
\nSaid the hooker, \u201cGood-looking he\u2019s not.
\nThough he\u2019s no Botticelli,
\nI don\u2019t mind a belly
\nAs long as there\u2019s cash in the pot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

I got caught wildly stirring the pot
\nQuite a lot. Yes the ranting got hot.
\nNo one bought what I thought.
\nThough I fought every plot:
\n\u201cThat\u2019s just rot!\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re a sot!\u201d \u201cNo I\u2019m not!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo my plants in the yard won\u2019t get caught
\nIn the cold, dig them up,\u201d my wife thought.
\nWhen she brought them inside,
\nEvery one of them died.
\nYou could say that her plants went to pot.<\/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
