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

For those who think tennis is boring,
\nHere\u2019s a point that you may be ignoring:
\nIf you stay in each set,
\nThere\u2019s a chance you can get
\nAn abundance of love without scoring.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations to RUDY LANDESMAN, who wins the Special TRENDs-Themed Limerick Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n

Rudy Landesman:<\/p>\n

The Australian Ballet\u2019s been in town
\nWith a dance trend that brought on a frown.
\nBut try to be kind,
\nAnd please keep in mind
\nThat at home they must dance upside down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Lisi Nortman Ardissone, Tim James, Dave Johnson, Terry Marter, Sue Dulley, Rudy Landesman, Martin Galpin, Sjaan VandenBroeder, Steve Benko,<\/a> and Mark Totterdell.<\/a> Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (DOUBLE DUTY DIVISION: \u201cSET or BeSET or UpSET\u201d RHYME LIMERICKS THAT ARE ALSO TREND LIMERICKS)<\/p>\n

Lisi Nortman Ardissone:<\/p>\n

I’ll be getting a nice wash and set.
\nIn the dryer, I’ll wear a black net,
\nThen use rollers each night,
\nMaking sure that they’re tight.
\n(A trend I shall never forget.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (“SET or BeSET or UpSET”-Rhyme DIVISION)<\/p>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

Two ladies, Yvonne and Yvette,
\nIn the sack are a perfect matched set.
\nThey are double the fun.
\nAnd in fact, when I\u2019m done,
\nI need more than just one cigarette.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

The former guy\u2019s really upset;
\nHis wonderful blog hasn\u2019t met
\nThe threshold of views
\nLike the one people use
\nTo ask about finding a pet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Terry Marter:<\/p>\n

As dinner guests walked through the door,
\nMy dog just threw up on the floor.
\nAnd was I upset?
\nQuite frankly, you bet!
\nThen the dog grinned and threw up some more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sue Dulley:<\/p>\n

My wake-up alarm has been set.
\nI’ll arrive right on time, don’t you fret.
\nWe’ll have a great hike
\nOn that trail that you like,
\nBut text me in case I forget.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n

When cast for a porn movie fling,
\nAn actor decided to bring
\nSome fun to the set;
\nBut the laughter he\u2019d get
\nWas all about one little thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rudy Landesman:<\/p>\n

That question of whether to be\u2014
\nOr not, and of troubles be free,
\nHas never beset,
\nNor ever has let
\nThe fardels I bear bother me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

( He adds: “Fardels? Don\u2019t ask me. Ask Shakespeare.”)<\/p>\n

Martin Galpin:<\/p>\n

A nurse in Ohio was set
\nOn proving the vaccine\u2019s a threat.
\nBut claims it\u2019s magnetic
\nAre weak and pathetic:
\nThe key\u2019s clearly stuck on by sweat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(Here’s a link, for those unfamiliar with this news story<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (TRENDS-Themed LIMERICK DIVISION)<\/p>\n

Lisi Nortman, for her “Covid Trends”<\/p>\n

A new way of touching\u2019s the key,
\nAnd it works for my hubby and me.
\nNo more feelings of dread;
\nWhen we\u2019re both in our bed,
\nWe have sex that is fully hands-free.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sjaan VandenBroeder:<\/p>\n

Through my house, sporting bedhead, I roam.
\nAround noon I find toothbrush and comb.
\nI enjoy a loud yawn;
\nLater I might log on.
\nIt\u2019s the trend we call \u201cworking from home.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trend is your friend\u201d? That\u2019s not true.
\nDon\u2019t believe me? Then here\u2019s what to do:
\nRead what\u2019s trending on Twitter.
\nYou\u2019ll find that stuff\u2019s fitter
\nFor flushing, since most of it\u2019s poo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Steve Benko:<\/p>\n

Today, wearing pants is old hat;
\nWith Zoom, there is no need for that.
\nWe can now scratch our balls
\nWhile on conference calls;
\nAll hint of decorum\u2019s gone \u2018splat.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lisi Nortman Ardissone, for her “The New Owner Of Coffeebucks”<\/p>\n

“Here’s your coffee. Please don’t drink it slow.
\nNothin’ like a real quick cup a joe.
\nClose that laptop, my friend;
\nWe don’t care for that trend.
\nYour time is now up, so please go.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sjaan VandenBroeder:<\/p>\n

Whispered Adam to Eve at the end,
\n\u201cI\u2019m so glad you are MORE than a friend.\u201d
\nThen the earth began quaking \u2014
\nTheir apple tree shaking \u2014
\nAnd they feared they had started a trend.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark Totterdell:<\/p>\n

My platform-heeled boots are like bricks,
\nAnd my high-waisted jeans (I have pics!)
\nFlap-flap-flap as I stride
\nAs they\u2019re half a yard wide.
\nMy excuse is, it\u2019s \u201976!<\/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
