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 SET or BeSET or UpSET 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 TRENDS, using any rhyme word.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best TRENDS<\/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 13, 2021,<\/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 12, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. <\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my SET or BeSET or UpSET-rhyme limerick: <\/p>\n

\nI need all the sleep I can get,
\nBut I can’t get to sleep on a bet.
\n(Or a bed, for that matter.)
\nI blame all the chatter
\nMy brain conjures up. I’m beset.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And here\u2019s my TRENDS-themed limerick:<\/p>\n

\n

If I tried to be cool, I would fail.
\nTrends are nothing I ever would hail.
\nIf I wear something “in,”
\nIt has probably been
\nPurchased decades ago … and on sale.<\/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
