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 one Honorable Mention:
Congratulations to Johanna Richmond who wins Limerick of the Week for this entertaining verse:
A man who was painfully shy
On his analyst’s couch, whispered “why?”
“Vell, your Vater ist rich
und your mutter’s a bitch
But my bet’s on that shrimp in your fly.”
For those who are keeping track, Johanna took this prize last week too. :)
Although my first two Limerick of the Week contests awarded three Honorable Mentions, this week’s has just one. Why? I explain in this limerick:
Dear Limerick-Off Versifiers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Yes, some of your lim’ricks were witty,
But imperfect in form — what a pity!
And the ones with no gaffes
Just did not give us laughs.
Yours truly, The Judging Committee.
And now this week’s single Honorable Mention goes to Phyllis Sterling Smith a/k/a Granny Smith for her amusing limerick:
A gal who was terribly shy
In person, let guys pass her by,
But left them agog
with her hot sexy blog
And met guy – after guy – after guy.
Congratulations again to 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.
