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 NOSE or KNOWS or NOES at the end of ANY ONE LINE.<\/strong> (A homonym or homophone not listed here may be used in lieu of the designated rhyme word.)<\/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 SECURITY, using any rhyme word.<\/strong> And of course I\u2019ll present an extra award \u2014 one for the best SECURITY<\/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 April 17, 2022,<\/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, April 16, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. <\/strong> (Eastern Time.)<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my NOSE or KNOWS or NOES-rhyme limerick: <\/p>\n

\nA fellow named Joe often goes
\nTo ENT docs — nasal pros.
\nThose rhinologists charge
\nPricey fees; bills so large
\nThat poor Joe’s forced to pay through the nose.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

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

\nThough the homebuilder does know the score,
\nHis computer security’s poor.
\nSo to no one’s surprise,
\nHe’s been hacked. You’ll surmise:
\nSomeone readily found the back door.<\/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
