Limerick of the Week (9)

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. I’m very pleased to announce the winning Limerick of the Week and two Honorable Mentions:

Congratulations to Earlybird who wins Limerick of the Week for this amusing verse:

A gal thought it time to take stock
When once, on omitting to knock,
She turned on the lights,
Found her man dressed in tights
And struggling to do up a frock.

And congratulations to these Honorable Mention winners (in random order) Guy Peter Pietrobono and Victoria Ceretto-Slotto. Here are their respective Honorable Mention limericks:

Guy Peter Pietrobono:

A gal thought it time to take stock
Of her odd biological clock:
“With 12 kids today,
Plus 3 on the way,
These birth-control pills are a crock!”

Victoria Ceretto-Slotto:

A gal thought it time to take stock ––
Her love life was truly a crock:
She trusted her honey
Who fled with her money,
Betrayal that left her in shock.

She hired a lawyer to sue
And see that the creep got his due.
When she saw him in court,
He admitted his tort.
She said “Tough, it’s all over. We’re through.”

Congratulations again to all the winners for your wonderful limericks. And thanks to everyone for your fun submissions.

In the next couple of minutes I’ll be posting a new Limerick-Off, which gives you yet another opportunity to win Limerick Of The Week.

    Earlybird cracked me up! Congrats to all who pick up the gauntlet laid so carefully on the ground by the ever-gracious (and ever-silly) Madeleine!
