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\n\n\n

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

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One shy hermit with friends on the Net,
Prefers people that he\u2019s never met.
He\u2019s hoping to get a
Nice girlfriend on Meta \u2014
One that comes with a virtual pet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to TIM JAMES, who wins the CLASS-Themed Limerick Award for this funny limerick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s an art student \u2014 also, an ass.
When he draws a nude model, alas,
He enhances her tits
And her lower-down bits.
He\u2019s advanced to the head of the crass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to SJAAN VANDENBROEDER, who wins the “Random Word Generator” Limerick Award, for a clever limerick which uses at least two of these five words: POLICE, LONG, PUSHY, ELITE, MATCH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I make all my own outfits from scratch,
From odd remnants of which I\u2019ve a batch.
Says one friend who\u2019s elite,
\u201cPlaids and stripes are both sweet,
But perhaps you could do with a match.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brian Allgar,<\/a> Terry Marter, Charles Simmons, Tim James, Linda Thompson, Vaughn Fritts, Michael Moulton, Jean McEwen, Rudy Landesman, Dave Johnson, Tony Holmes, Jon Gearhart, Sjaan VandenBroeder, Bindy Bitterman<\/a>, and Lisi Nortman. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (NET-RHYME DIVISION)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brian Allgar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hooker was starting to sweat
At the task that she found she\u2019d been set.
Though she said she could toot
On her customer\u2019s flute,
His was more like a bass clarinet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Terry Marter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You’ve won,” said this gal on the net.
“A two-for-one trip to Tibet.”
I sent her the dough
And packed ready to go.
But I haven’t heard back from her yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Simmons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He hit his last ball in the net
And lost the last point in the set.
He started to scream,
Just to let off some steam,
Then noticed his pants getting wet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tim James, for his “The State of the Union.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question, once Biden got set:
How insane would Republicans get?
Though opinions were varied,
Each Dem should have carried
Some tranqs and a butterfly net.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linda Thompson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In winter I wore for a bet
A flimsy pink dress made of net.
My nipples? They froze!
And so did my nose.
They haven\u2019t thawed out, as of yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe my wingman,\u201d he begged me. \u201cGet set,
\u2019Cause this bar has the hottest girls yet.
Look around. You\u2019ll agree:
Lots of fish in the sea.
Be a pal; help me haul in the net.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vaughn Fritts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fisherman tossed in the towel
And yelled at the fish with a scowl.
\u201cBy hook or by net
You\u2019re too hard to get!
Let this be your funeral cowl!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He didn\u2019t intend to beget
A child with the barmaid, Yvette.
Still, he\u2019ll \u201cdo the right thing\u201d
For his butt\u2019s in a sling
As he faces her dad\u2019s bayonet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (CLASS-THEMED LIMERICK DIVISION) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rudy Landesman:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I once took some courses at Bard\u2019s
And went for the darn whole nine yards.
In one music class
I heard Philip Glass
Wrecking music and leaving just shards.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When students are let out of class,
The beach is one big, teeming mass.
Spring breakers descend;
When will this ever end?
One way to describe it: morass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim James:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A classless Floridian gov
Is competing for right-wingers\u2019 love.
The nonsense he spews
Insults anyone who\u2019s
Got an IQ of 12 or above.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jean E McEwen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though decidedly born middle class,
Dee feels strongly compelled to surpass
Her peers in their standing
But, what a crash landing!
She\u2019s hit a thick ceiling of glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony Holmes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo be born lower-class doesn\u2019t mean
That you have to stay humble, old bean.
You may rise through the ranks,
Make a pile and own banks,
And become nouveau riche \u2013 and obscene.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Vaughn Fritts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waitress thought he was an ass
And thoroughly lacking in class.
He picked up the tab
For lobster and crab
But tipped her in belches and gas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mike Moulton:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being woke,” says DeSantis, “is wrong.”
Being diff’rent means you don\u2019t belong.
By ignoring the past
The future is cast,
So the weak can be crushed by the strong.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Dave Johnson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The x-rated call-up was crass;
Auditioning actors with sass.
One fellow was sought
For the member he brought
And rose to the head of the class.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

HONORABLE MENTIONS (RANDOM WORD GENERATOR LIMERICK DIVISION: POLICE, LONG, PUSHY, ELITE, MATCH.<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean McEwen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the annals of studs, he\u2019s elite,
For his cock measures nearly two feet!
His dong is so long,
It\u2019s the subject of song
And a treat for all women in heat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Terry Marter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a long story short: We’re a match.
It’s our second time ’round (that’s the catch.)
But we’re over the glitch
And we still got the itch,
So tonight we’ll be starting from scratch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jon Gearhart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police in my town aren’t discrete.
Their rep is well-known on the street.
In their need to loom large,
(Elite\/Pushy\/In charge)
They make certain they don’t miss a beat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sjaan VandenBroeder: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One walrus bull, still in his youth,
Was pushy and often uncouth.
He approached a young cow,
Barking, \u201cLet\u2019s do it NOW \u2014
Before we get long in the tooth!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Terry Marter: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was rich; an elite — quite a catch.
For a lowly policeman, no match…
Or so one might think.
But he gave her a wink;
Now they’re married with kids (quite a batch.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bindy Bitterman:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police here are known to be tough.
Arresting you\u2019s just not enough.
You fight back and you’re pushy?
You\u2019ll land on your tushy,
\u2019Cause none of \u2019em take any guff!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Lisi Nortman, for her “Very Mean Mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow in hell will you find a good catch,
When all of your outfits don\u2019t match?
Listen up, ‘old maid’ Ruth:
You are long in the tooth.
Get movin\u2019 before your eggs hatch!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
