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 Honorable Mentions:<\/p>\n

Congratulations to JANE SHELTON HOFFMAN who wins Limerick of the Week for this clever verse:<\/p>\n

\nA fellow who felt he’d been had
\nComplained of a misleading ad.
\n“It never did rise
\nOr double its size
\nEven though she was scantily clad!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Johanna Richmond, Amy Barlow Liberatore a\/k\/a Sharp Little Pencil<\/a>, David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a>, Kerri Anderson<\/a>, and RJ Clarken<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A woman who thought she\u2019d been had
\nBy her dubious date, \u201cMan from Glad,\u201d
\nFound his fetish for plastic
\nSincere, not bombastic:
\nHis meatballs were sandwich bag clad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amy Barlow Liberatore:<\/p>\n

A woman who felt she\u2019d been had
\nGazed out of the window, quite sad.
\nHer millionaire dream,
\nA big Ponzi scheme.
\nHer slick lover was two times a cad.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David McCormick:<\/p>\n

A woman who felt she\u2019d been had
\nTold the Judge, \u201cKissed some frog on a pad.
\n\u201cWell, next thing I seen
\n\u201cWas this ugly, old queen
\n\u201cNot the \u2018handsome, young prince\u2019 in his ad\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kerri Anderson: <\/p>\n

A woman who felt she\u2019d been had
\nDid say to her mother, \u201cI\u2019m sad.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve cooked and I\u2019ve cleaned,
\n\u201cI\u2019ve primped, pressed and preened,
\n\u201cBut the only man \u2019round here is Dad.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

RJ Clarken:<\/p>\n

A fellow who felt he\u2019d been had
\nRe buying a dubious \u2018Strad\u2019
\nFound his authentication
\nLacked substantiation.
\nOh fiddlesticks! He was sure mad.<\/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":"
