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 SPIN 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 ETIQUETTE, using any rhyme word.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best ETIQUETTE<\/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 July 11, 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, July 10, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. <\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

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

\nA gal who was clever at spin
\nDelivered it all with a grin.
\nThough her clients were sleazy
\nAnd cheesy, the breezy
\nDefenses she’d gin up would win.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

\n

When he swallowed his wine, he was rapid.
\nThen he swiftly dismissed it as “vapid.”
\nHis date was aghast:
\n“You guzzled it fast!
\nYou’re insipid; that Pinot is sapid.”\n<\/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
