It’s time to announce the latest Limerick of the Week based on submissions (on this blog and on Facebook) in last week’s Limerick-Off. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and one Honorable Mention:<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Johanna Richmond who wins Limerick of the Week for this entertaining verse:<\/p>\n
A man who was painfully shy
\nOn his analyst’s couch, whispered “why?”
\n“Vell, your Vater ist rich
\nund your mutter’s a bitch
\nBut my bet’s on that shrimp in your fly.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\nFor those who are keeping track, Johanna took this prize last week too. :)<\/p>\n
Although my first two Limerick of the Week contests awarded three Honorable Mentions, this week’s has just one. Why? I explain in this limerick:<\/p>\n
Dear Limerick-Off Versifiers
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\nYes, some of your lim’ricks were witty,
\nBut imperfect in form — what a pity!
\nAnd the ones with no gaffes
\nJust did not give us laughs.
\nYours truly, The Judging Committee.<\/p>\nAnd now this week’s single Honorable Mention goes to Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a> for her amusing limerick:<\/p>\n
A gal who was terribly shy
\nIn person, let guys pass her by,
\nBut left them agog
\nwith her hot sexy blog
\nAnd met guy – after guy – after guy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nCongratulations again to the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions. <\/p>\n
