It\u2019s Limerick-Off time, once again. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same first line. Then you post your limerick here and, if you\u2019re a Facebook user, on Facebook too<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The best submission will be crowned Limerick Of The Week. (Here\u2019s last week\u2019s Limerick Of The Week Winner plus the Honorable Mentions<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

How will your poems be judged? By meter, rhyme, and cleverness. (If you\u2019re feeling a bit fuzzy about limerick writing rules, you can find some helpful resources listed here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll announce the Limerick of the Week Winner right before I post next week\u2019s Limerick-Off. So that gives you a full week to submit your clever, polished verse.<\/p>\n

I hope you\u2019ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

or<\/p>\n

A woman whose last dime was spent…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s mine:<\/p>\n

Spent Limerick
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

A fellow whose last dime was spent
\nOn a gal below age of consent
\nDid nothing illicit,
\nThough mom was complicit:
\n‘Twas a “sweet sixteen” birthday event.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity on my Facebook Limerick-Off post.<\/a><\/p>\n

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please send me an email requesting the alerts. You\u2019ll find my email address on the upper right sidebar, in the \u201cAuthor\u201d section just below my Limerick-Offs button. Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
