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>. Competition was extra strong this week, and I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and the Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to VERSEBENDER<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A fellow who loved fine cuisine
\nHad a spread in a big magazine.
\nBut the shoot turned out lewd
\n\u2018Cause he cooked in the nude.
\nSome utensils are best left unseen.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Lynette Killam<\/a>, Lewis Evans<\/a>, David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose<\/a>, Johanna Richmond, and Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Lynette Killam:<\/p>\n

A woman who loved fine cuisine
\nGave up struggling to keep herself lean.
\nShe finally said,
\n\u201cI\u2019ll be thin when I\u2019m dead…
\nI’d much rather be chubby than mean!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lewis Evans:<\/p>\n

A fellow who loved fine cuisine
\nWas a cereal killing machine.
\nHis obsession with grits
\nRendered turbo-charged shits,
\nWasting all who passed by his latrine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Lefkovits a\/k\/a Dr. Goose:<\/p>\n

A fellow who loved fine cuisine
\nWhile camping with mujahedeen
\nWould freshly bake scones
\nWhile running from drones
\nAnd filling up flasks with benzene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A fellow who loved fine cuisine
\nWhen served subpar supper, got mean;
\nHis waitress, fed up,
\nSnarled, \u201cGo elsewhere to sup;
\nSir, our liver don\u2019t merit your spleen!\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A fellow who loved fine cuisine
\nWhen tipping was stingy and mean.
\n“My custom is still
\nTwo percent of the bill.”
\nThe spit in his soup went unseen.<\/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":"
