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 FAN at the end of any one 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 PESTS, using any rhyme word.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best PEST<\/strong>-related limerick.<\/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 June 16, 2019,<\/strong> right before I post the next Limerick-Off. So that gives you two full weeks<\/strong> to submit your clever, polished verse. Your submission deadline is Saturday, June 15, 2019 at 10:00 p.m.<\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my FAN-rhyme limerick: <\/p>\n

\n

I have not shot a Glock, though I\u2019ve played one.
\n(The \u201cband\u201d kind and NOT the \u201cbrigade one.\u201d)
\nBut I\u2019m just not a fan
\nOf either. A ban
\nWould sound fine. There\u2019s no need to parade one.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And here’s my PEST-themed limerick:<\/p>\n

\nA nudnik is under arrest,
\nBut as people are pleased to attest,
\nDespite plenty of flaws,
\nHe would never break laws–
\nHe’s just guilty of being a pest.<\/p><\/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
