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

Poor Dorothy, youthful and rash,
\nTook a lover with plenty of cash.
\nBut re-Morse she soon showed
\nFor this breach of her Code;
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d cried Dot, \u201cI must Dash!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Adam Stern<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Carolyn Henly, Allen Wilcox, and Phil Graham<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

The Mexicans, hoping to dash
\nAll our hopes, caused this stock market crash!
\nTheir designs we must fear!
\nIt\u2019s been ever so clear
\nSince I got into Donald Trump\u2019s stash.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

In Asgard, when Norse heroes clash,
\nThey settle their feud with a brash
\nTrack and field competition.
\nTheir personal mission
\nIs to win the well-known Baldur Dash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adam Stern:<\/p>\n

I placed first in the hundred-yard dash.
\n(Left the slow-pokes behind with panache.)
\nBut my joy evanesced
\nWhen I found out the best
\nReceived praise, but not one cent of cash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

She was sprawled with her feet on the dash,
\nAnd the couple were starting to thrash.
\nThey\u2019d forgotten the brake,
\nEnded up in the lake \u2013
\nIn the papers, they made quite a splash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carolyn Henly:<\/p>\n

Exclamation points have some panache,
\nWhile the question mark\u2019s not very brash.
\nThe ellipsis had dropped,
\nWhile the period stopped,
\nAnd the hyphen said \u201cI\u2019ve got to dash.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allen Wilcox:<\/p>\n

The five-liner form is not rash.
\nThe meter and rhyming don\u2019t clash.
\nIt has rules we adore,
\nBut I might note one more \u2013
\nA lim\u2019rick can\u2019t end with a \u2013.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phil Graham:<\/p>\n

By the goal posts she waved from her Nash.
\nI thought, \u201cGreat! Gonna get me some gash!\u201d
\nI arrived, loins on fire
\nBut \u2019twas just a flat tire.
\nWhat a waste of a hundred yard dash.<\/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
