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 ROBERT SCHECHTER who wins Limerick of the Week for this clever verse:<\/p>\n

A man was attempting to eat
\nA taco he bought on the street.
\nHe\u2019s someone I follow
\nOn Twitter. Each swallow
\nWas widely proclaimed in a tweet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

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

A man was attempting to eat
\nAt Le Restaurant Jean B. Lafitte,
\nBut his face became pallid
\nWhen part of the salad
\nGot up and walked off on six feet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Johanna Richmond:<\/p>\n

A man was attempting to eat
\nWhen his wife hollered out, \u201cTrick or treat!\u201d
\nIt was then he took note
\nShe held open her tote,
\nSo he thoughtfully offered his meat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David McCormick a\/k\/a AdamantYves:<\/p>\n

A gal was attempting to eat
\nA length of spaghetti – six feet;
\nShe forgot that to coil it
\nShe\u2019d first have to boil it,
\nNow she\u2019s had to move up from petite.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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

A fellow was trying to eat
\nThings acquired from a bet. He’d been beat!
\nThey divided a cow.
\nThe lost bet explains how
\nShe got steaks, he got teats and de feet.<\/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":"
