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

In the headlights of cars, something showed.
\nIt was just up ahead, so I slowed.
\nSaw a pie in the street
\nThat I wanted to eat,
\nSo I looked for a fork in the road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Brian Allgar, Will T. Laughlin<\/a>, Errol Nimbly a\/k\/a Byron Miller, and Dave Johnson. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

She was looking for sex on the road.
\nHe was just a bit strange, and it showed.
\nSo just why did he lick
\nIce cream off of this chick?
\nHe prefers all his tarts a la mode.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/p>\n

Said Dad, at the wheel on the road:
\n\u201cIf you kids have to use the commode,
\nSince we ain\u2019t near a rest
\nIt would be for the best
\nIf you opened the door while I slowed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

The beta test went on the road
\nFor their app: ‘Win A Prince, Kiss The Toad.\u2019
\nBut no prince came; instead,
\nRoaches bit off her head.
\nThey suspect there are bugs in the code.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will T. Laughlin:<\/p>\n

Religious observance is owed
\nWhere the poultry truck buckled and bowed.
\nHer companions are splats
\nOn the highway, and that\u2019s
\nWhy the Chicken was Crossing the Road.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Errol Nimbly a\/k\/a Byron Miller<\/p>\n

Paid a doxy just what she was owed,
\nThen at sea, in my dinghy, got blowed;
\nBut the mutinous whore
\nSwam away with an oar,
\nWhich explains why, in circles, I rowed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

When Lady Godiva bestowed
\nHer charms on the town where she rode,
\nThey noticed a rise
\nIn amorous guys;
\nAlong with the seeds that they sowed.<\/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
