UPDATED WITH NEW DEADLINE AND TWO NEW LIMERICK OPTIONS."},"content":{"rendered":"

IMPORTANT UPDATE: THE NEW DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 26. WINNERS LIST WILL BE POSTED ON NOVEMBER 27. YOU MAY ALSO WRITE THANKSGIVING-THEMED LIMERICKS AND\/OR LIMERICKS WITH “CALL” AS THE B-RHYME, INSTEAD OF THE A-RHYME.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Limerick-Off time, once again. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same rhyme word. Then you post your limerick(s) as a comment to this post and, if you\u2019re a Facebook user, on Facebook too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll join me in writing limericks using CALL<\/strong> at the end of ANY LINE<\/strong>. (Homonyms or homophones are fine.)<\/p>\n

The best submission will be crowned Limerick-Off Award Winner. (Here\u2019s last week\u2019s Limerick-Off Award Winner<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Additionally,<\/strong> you may write themed limericks<\/strong> related to ANXIETY or THANKSGIVING using any rhyme scheme.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present extra awards for the best ANXIETY and THANKSGIVING<\/strong>-related limericks.<\/p>\n

How will your poems be judged? By meter, rhyme, cleverness, and humor. (If you\u2019re feeling a bit fuzzy about limerick writing rules, here’s my How To Write A Limerick<\/em><\/a> article.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll announce the winners on November 27, 2016<\/strong> right before I post the next Limerick-Off. So that gives you four full weeks<\/strong> to submit your clever, polished verse. Your submission deadline is Saturday, November 26, 2016 at 10:00 p.m.<\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my limerick: <\/p>\n

\nA woman was having a ball
\nAs she answered the Democrats’ call;
\nShe was cleaning the clock
\nOf a fellow who’d mock
\nAnd impugn for no reason at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Please feel free to enter my Limerick-Off by posting your limerick(s) in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity on my Facebook Limerick-Off post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
