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 DAVID MCCORMICK a\/k\/a AdamantYves<\/a> who wins Limerick of the Week for this funny verse:<\/p>\n

A gal who was covered in sweat
\nVowed, “Girl! That’s your last pirouette!
\n“Admit it! You grew too
\n“Rotund for your tutu!
\n“BELLY dancing is now your best bet!”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Johanna Richmond, Mark Megson<\/a>, Ira Bloom, Madeleine Sara Maddocks<\/a>, RJ Clarken<\/a>, and Phyllis Sterling Smith a\/k\/a Granny Smith<\/a>. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:<\/p>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A gal who was covered in sweat
\nWhile performing a horny sextet,
\nBetween visions impure
\nAnd a skilled embouchure,
\nEarned the \u201cRusty Trombone\u201d sobriquet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mark Megson:<\/p>\n

A guy who was covered in sweat
\nWas arrested for humping his pet.
\n\u201cIt was choking\u201d he cried
\n\u201cSo the Heimlich I tried,
\nAn action that I now regret!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ira Bloom:<\/p>\n

A guy who was covered in sweat
\nTold his friend, while collecting a bet:
\n\u201cIt may seem a fiasco
\nTo guzzle Tabasco—
\nI do it to get out of debt.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Madeleine Sara Maddocks:<\/p>\n

A guy who was covered in sweat
\nMade his lady loves rather upset.
\nAs he slipped and he slithered
\nHis ardour just withered,
\nLeaving appetites sorely unmet.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

RJ Clarken:<\/p>\n

A guy who was covered in sweat
\nHad the hots for a sexy brunette.
\nSo he said, \u201cIt sounds screwy:
\nYou make me feel dewy!\u201d
\nThat line hasn\u2019t worked for him yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A guy who was covered with sweat,
\nIndignant, rushed Pooch to the vet.
\n\u201cShe encountered a rake.
\nWhat means should I take?
\nI\u2019m not ready for puppies just yet!\u201d\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":"
