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 KATHY EL-ASSAL, who wins Limerick of the Week for this clever Acrostic Limerick:<\/p>\n

\nC<\/strong>ulled by Carly, the workers got canned.
\nA<\/strong>nd at H.P., her tenure was panned.
\nR<\/strong>e-emerging to fight,
\nL<\/strong>obbing zingers far right,
\nY<\/strong>essiree, she could F up the land.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, Dave Johnson, David Reddekopp, Phil Graham,<\/a> Diane Groothuis, and ROBERT SCHECHTER.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Dr. Frankenstein searched through the land
\nFor each muscle, limb, organ and gland.
\nYet his beast makes no fist;
\nBoth arms end at the wrist.
\nAin\u2019t he great, folks? Let\u2019s give him a hand!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson: <\/p>\n

A bottle was found in the sand
\nWith a note from a far-away land.
\n\u201cWe\u2019ll come to your shore
\nLike so many before…
\nBut not \u2019till The Trumpster is canned.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp:<\/p>\n

The gift that we gave her was grand.
\nShe no longer relied on her hand.
\nOn the sofa sat Alice
\nWith vibrating phallus,
\nAnd Alice was in Wonderland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phil Graham: <\/p>\n

Just a banjo, no need for a band,
\nAs the embers of justice he fanned.
\nFolk music\u2019s more meager
\nSince losing Pete Seeger;
\nHe \u201chammered all over this land.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis: <\/p>\n

He came with his hat in his hand,
\nApology practiced and planned:
\n\u201cI am sorry my dear
\nFor bruising your ear.
\nThat blowfly was trying to land.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robert Schechter:<\/p>\n

In farms found throughout this great land,
\nThere’s a rule that all cows understand,
\nAnd it’s so fundamental!
\nWhen milking, be gentle.
\nDon’t yank on the mammary gland.<\/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
