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 BREAD or BRED 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 SELF-CONTROL, using any rhyme word.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best SELF-CONTROL<\/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 October 17, 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, October 16, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. <\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my BREAD or BRED-rhyme limerick: <\/p>\n

\nA fellow with plenty of bread
\nHeld a fete on his boat — a big spread.
\nNear the end of the bash
\nHe dropped much of his cash
\nIn the toilet. Wealth’s gone to his head.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

\n

I’m beginning to notice a lag in
\nRestraint from a pal who’s been braggin’
\nThat he’s wholly off beer.
\nBut I’m starting to fear
\nThat my trucker friend fell off the wagon.<\/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
