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

For church, we\u2019ve got no time to spend,
\nAnd the sermons we don\u2019t comprehend,
\nSo I set up a dummy
\nOf me and my mummy.
\nWe tend to pretend we attend.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to Judith H. Block on her Facebook Friends’ Choice Award:<\/p>\n

This Thanksgiving we need to intend
\nTo be kind and to try to transcend
\nMisconceptions and fears.
\nWe’ve all shed enough tears.
\nThe world needs more love, in the end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Ailsa McKillop, Kirk Miller, Tim James, Brian Allgar, Fred Bortz<\/a>, Dave Johnson, and Errol Nimbly a\/k\/a Byron Miller. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Ailsa McKillop:<\/p>\n

So you know when you plain overspend
\nOn some Blahniks, egged on by your friend?
\nHubby asks you the price
\nAnd without thinking twice
\nYou halve it. That\u2019s right, gals pretend!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirk Miller:<\/p>\n

The tornado book follows a trend
\nOf suspense books that oftentimes tend
\nTo give a surprise.
\nIf readers are wise,
\nThey\u2019ll expect there\u2019s a twist at the end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Ladies, THIS is important. Attend:
\nThere\u2019s this guy, all laid up, on the mend,
\nWhile sweet, innocent Jean
\n(In the ways of love, green)
\nSays, \u201cGood heavens! I thought it could bend!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n

\nThey keep sending me ads to extend
\nThe size of a lecher\u2019s best friend,
\nSo I trash it \u2013 no dice!
\nIf I took their advice,
\nI\u2019d be just a big prick in the end.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fred Bortz:<\/p>\n

I was warmly invited to spend
\nSome time to inter my good friend.
\nBut it seems I was cursed,
\nAnd, alas, I died first.
\nSo I sent my regrets: \u201cCan\u2019t attend.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

Her lover won\u2019t even defend
\nHis failure to stretch and extend
\nTheir moment of bliss
\nBeyond only this:
\n\u201cOH YES!\u201d He rolls over. The end.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

I have an effeminate friend.
\nLocal NFL games we attend,
\nThough he\u2019s not into sports.
\nIt\u2019s because he cavorts
\nWith a certain young rookie tight end.<\/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
