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 DAVE JOHNSON, who wins Limerick of the Week for this clever verse:<\/p>\n

On Twitter, his words start to spill
\nLate at night, and he probably will
\nFind a way to abuse
\nAnyone in the news
\nWho refuses to trumpet his swill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Yt cai, Tim James, Dave Johnson, Daisy Mae Simon, and Brian Allgar. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Yt cai:<\/p>\n

In aisle three, I was cleaning a spill;
\nJars of pickles, some sweet and some dill.
\nThe mop wasn\u2019t workin\u2019
\nI slipped on a gherkin.
\nTo this day it is lodged in me still.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Phil the bear hunter, out for a kill,
\nDropped his rifle on taking a spill.
\nHe rolled downhill and then
\nStraight into a den.
\nLucky bears. They\u2019ve now eaten their Phil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson: <\/p>\n

Our waiter had managed to spill
\nThe wine from a glass he did fill.
\nIt fell on her dress,
\nA terrible mess;
\nWe\u2019re adding a tip to his bill.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Daisy Mae Simon:<\/p>\n

Too many think guns are a thrill,
\nBut their purpose is solely to kill.
\nMass shootings? \u201cLet\u2019s pray,\u201d
\nSay the pro-NRA.
\nRinse, repeat. How much blood can they spill?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

He tried very hard not to spill
\nThe eggs that he\u2019d beaten with dill,
\nBut gave up in despair.
\nFor an omelette, rare,
\nSimply cannot be cooked on the grill.<\/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
