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

That new composition\u2019s a bore:
\nJust hear how the listeners snore.
\n(The composer, though, knows
\nThat they\u2019re likely to doze:
\nHe\u2019s written them into the score.)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Ailsa McKillop, David Reddekopp, and Dave Johnson. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

He took up his chisel to score
\nA design on his new stable-door.
\nWhen the horse tried to bolt
\nHe just took out his Colt
\nAnd shot it. His colt is no more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ailsa McKillop: <\/p>\n

Allusions there were by the score
\n(The meter; a raven; Lenore)
\nIn my parody, terse.
\nBut so few knew Poe’s verse
\nThat there seemed little point. Nevermore.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp:<\/p>\n

The troops came and told me the score
\nAbout why they were fighting the war:
\n\u201cWe make war, since you wonder,
\nFor pillage and plunder.\u201d
\nI said \u201cYou\u2019re corrupt!\u201d to the corps.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar: (A variant on an old story)<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I offered a million to score,
\nWould you let me have sex with you?\u201d \u201cSure!\u201d
\nWhen he said \u201cAnd ten bucks
\nFor a couple of fucks?\u201d,
\nShe exclaimed \u201cDo you think I\u2019m a whore?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all due respect\u201d, replied he,
\nWe\u2019ve established, I think you\u2019ll agree,
\nWhat you are beyond doubt.
\nNow we\u2019re haggling about
\nThe amount you\u2019ll accept as your fee.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp: (Turning Twix)<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOh, Henry,\u201d says Candy, the whore.
\nShe Snickers, \u201cwould you like to Skor?
\nFor a modest PayDay
\nYou\u2019ll have your Milky Way.\u201d
\nBut his Aero has hurt her; she\u2019s sore.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

Whenever you\u2019re ready to score,
\nOur product can help with the chore.
\nWith just one little pill
\nYou\u2019ll keep going until
\nYou are both really happy \u2013 or sore.<\/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
