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 DAVID REDDEKOPP, who wins the Limerick-Off Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hypotenuse,\u201d he would opine,
\n\u201cShould connect to each right-angled line.\u201d
\nMy geometry prof
\nWould proceed to go off
\nOn a tangent of cosine and sine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

I\u2019d resolved not to vote for a chump;
\nNow we\u2019re cursed with one Donald J. Trump.
\nSo I need a new pledge;
\nIf I\u2019m close to a ledge,
\nResist the temptation to jump.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar, Craig Dykstra, David Reddekopp, Sue Dulley, Diane Groothuis, Suzanne Heymann, Marty Gerendasy, and Wendy Playter. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

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

Brian Allgar: <\/p>\n

Is it love that is making her whine?
\nCan her soft, pleading gaze be a sign
\nOf unfailing devotion?
\nNo, I have a notion
\nMy dog is impatient to dine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Craig Dykstra:<\/p>\n

I really don\u2019t mean to malign,
\nBut our logo\u2019s a crappy design.
\nLegibility\u2019s wanting
\nFrom poor choice of fonting \u2013
\nI fear it\u2019s the Times of our Sign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Reddekopp:<\/p>\n

A pious man drove by a field,
\nLooked up and to God he appealed;
\nHe beseeched the divine
\nTo send him a sign,
\nAnd he saw one. It told him to yield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sue Dulley:<\/p>\n

Some quilts I design I will sign
\nOn the back, but the choice there is mine.
\nI will not write my name
\nSo I don’t get the blame
\nIf the quilt turns out lame (like this line.) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Diane Groothuis: <\/p>\n

An architect went out to dine,
\nIn hopes that his client would sign.
\nBut his plan was rejected
\nIn mode unexpected;
\n\u201cYour erection just can\u2019t equal mine.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

Suzanne Heymann: <\/p>\n

“Resolutions – be more like your brother!”
\nBlurts my bossy, but well-meaning mother.
\nShe can scream, she can shout,
\nBut it does, without doubt,
\nGo in one year and then out the other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Marty Gerendasy: <\/p>\n

Resolutions, both written and spoken
\nAll too often turn out to be token.
\nThough our thoughts are sincere,
\nAll our plans disappear.
\nResolutions were meant to be broken!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wendy Playter: <\/p>\n

When last year had started anew,
\nI listed what I\u2019d like to do:
\nMake twice as much cash,
\nAnd lose my fat stash.
\nBut sadly, I mixed up the two.<\/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
