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<\/a>. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and four Honorable Mentions (three single verse limericks and one multiverse limerick.)<\/p>\n

Congratulations to DAVID LEFKOVITS a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this excellent limerick:<\/p>\n

A woman who loved a good fight
\nWould demand, as she argued all night,
\nPhilosophical heft
\nFrom those on the left
\nAnd empirical proof from the right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>, VerseBender<\/a>, Paul Andrew Russell<\/a>, and Patrice Stewart a\/k\/a Patrice of the ManyCats. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith:<\/p>\n

A woman who loved a good fight
\nInvited to dinner one night
\nA catholic, a Jew,
\nPalestinians too.
\nThey kissed and made up out of spite!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

VerseBender:<\/p>\n

A woman who loved a good fight
\nSaid, \u201cDarlin\u2019, you know it\u2019s all right
\nThe reason I\u2019m itchin\u2019
\nTo get in some bitchin\u2019:
\nThe making up part\u2019s a delight!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paul Andrew Russell: <\/p>\n

A fellow who loved a good fight
\nWould go on a rumble all night.
\nHe\u2019d punch and he\u2019d jeer,
\nFueled on gallons of beer.
\nThen strut off to bed at first light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Patrice Stewart a\/k\/a Patrice of the ManyCats:<\/p>\n

A fellow who loved a good fight
\nTook on<\/strong> inner demons each night.
\nThey\u2019d roll, tumble, wrestle,
\nHis body the vessel ~
\nA bone-chilling, hair-raising sight.<\/p>\n

He\u2019d chortle and shout out with glee,
\n\u201cYou\u2019ll not get the better of me!
\nMephistopheles, please:
\nYou\u2019re just a big tease!
\nI\u2019ll win soon, and then I\u2019ll be free\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

He leapt, intercepted the horde,
\nSharp blade sweeping down as they roared\u2026
\nCame the dawn, not a peep
\nAs he smiled, deep in sleep ~
\nGrasp firm on invisible sword.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions. There were so many good ones, narrowing them down to the best five was quite a challenge.<\/p>\n

In the next couple of minutes I\u2019ll be posting a new Limerick-Off,<\/a> which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
