It’s time to announce the latest Limerick-Off winners based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in the last Limerick-Off<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Congratulations to BRIAN ALLGAR, who wins the Limerick-Off Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

“I think that I thought that I thunk,”
\nSaid Descartes, “but perhaps it was bunk.
\nIf I am when I think,
\nWhat occurs when I drink?
\nWell, I think that I therefore am drunk.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to DAVE JOHNSON, who wins the Special Boating-Themed Limerick Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

While launching his boat with a Hummer,
\nHe struts like he\u2019s King of the Summer.
\nNow ready to go,
\nThe Speedo will show
\nHis love life must be a real bummer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Tim James, Brian Allgar, Diane Groothuis, Mike Burch,<\/a> Dave Johnson, David Reddekopp, and Ken Gosse. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (“BUNK\/DEBUNK” RHYME DIVISION)<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

In the novel I\u2019m reading, a hunk
\nHas a girlfriend who fondles his junk.
\nWhen they started to pet
\nI broke out in a sweat.
\nNow excuse me. I\u2019ll be in my bunk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Brian Allgar<\/p>\n

The Captain was thoroughly drunk,
\nAnd was bonking a bird in his bunk.
\nThey were suddenly wet,
\nBut it wasn\u2019t from sweat –
\nIn his absence, the liner had sunk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis:<\/p>\n

\nLast ev’ning I lay on my bunk,
\nQuite tired and also quite drunk.
\nAs I pondered and mused,
\nI became quite confused;
\nWhat WAS I? A nun or a monk?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mike Burch:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something I\u2019d like to debunk:
\nThe GOP\u2019s not in a \u201cfunk.\u201d
\nThe Donald, by choice,
\nIs its unfiltered voice.
\nVote for someone who’s sane, or we\u2019re sunk!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

On vacation, we\u2019re caught in a funk;
\nOur Airbnb place is junk.
\nOn a faraway isle,
\nWe\u2019re told with a smile:
\n\u201cYou both have to sleep in de bunk.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a hunk in a funk when I\u2019m drunk.
\nWho\u2019da thunk it? My junk, it has shrunk.
\nIt won\u2019t even unfurl,
\nSo I can\u2019t get a girl.
\nNow I\u2019m sunk \u2013 can\u2019t spelunk in my bunk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (BOATING LIMERICK DIVISION)<\/p>\n

Ken Gosse: <\/p>\n

As youngsters, we learned, \u201cRow, Row, Row,\u201d
\nWith no limit on how far to go.
\nNow older, strength fails:
\nWith no outboard or sails,
\nWe\u2019ll find our return needs a tow.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

About boating I haven\u2019t a clue.
\nWhat do fo\u2019c’s\u2019les and mizzen masts do?
\nTell me why the main bounds
\nAnd on what the surf pounds.
\nAnd just why on a head would you poo?<\/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 the Limerick-Off Award.<\/p>\n

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please email Madkane@MadKane.com Subject: MadKane’s Newsletter<\/a>. Thanks!<\/p>\n
