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 the four Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to DAISY MAE SIMON<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this amusingly clever two-verse limerick:<\/p>\n

A fellow was in a bad mood
\nWhen his girlfriend, he learned, was a prude.
\nAs he tried to seduce her
\nShe said \u201cThat\u2019s ABUSE, sir!
\nStop letting your penis protrude!\u201d<\/p>\n

Second thoughts changed her mind and her mood.
\nShe\u2019d really not meant to be rude.
\nAfter all, he was cute.
\nHe had quite a salute<\/em>.
\nBut too late, he\u2019d been verbally screwed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Brenda Bryant a\/k\/a Rinkly Rimes<\/a>, VerseBender<\/a>, Elaine Spall<\/a>, and Martin T. Hodges<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Brenda Bryant a\/k\/a Rinkly Rimes: <\/p>\n

A fellow was in a bad mood;
\nHe had swallowed a fly with his food.
\nAs he coughed and he spluttered
\nThose nearest him muttered
\n“Those noises are terribly rude!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

VerseBender:<\/p>\n

A fellow was in a bad mood
\nAs he lay there distraught in the nude.
\nOther women had said
\nHe was worthless in bed,
\nBut this was the first time one booed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elaine Spall:<\/p>\n

A woman was in a bad mood
\nCause she couldn\u2019t stop thinking of food.
\nThen she said \u201cBetter try it\u2026
\nThis new sticky diet\u2026\u201d
\nAnd painfully had her lips glued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Martin T. Hodges:<\/p>\n

A fellow was in a bad mood
\nAfter seeing himself in the nude.
\nHe was down in the mouth
\nAs his eyes travelled south
\nWhere the length of his age could be viewed.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.<\/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":"
