Congratulations, winners. It was good to see such a variety of entrants this year, and all of the poems made me laff. Thanks, all!

Congratulations Schnitzi, I pass the crown and sceptre to you to hold for the next twelve months. I think we should have our names engraved upon something.

First, I would like to thank everyone who took part in the limerick contest this year. Things were quieter this year than in some years past, but the quality of entries, overall, was as high as always. No matter the theme, you manage to turn it into elegant poetry.

The grand prize this year, a book of Teh Bug comix, goes to schnitzi who impressed the judges with form, extra-credit themes, ingeniousness and quantity.

Lisa D takes second place, for similar reasons. It was close. The second place prize is a copy of Teh Bug comix.

In fact, I wish I could send all entrants a prize but I have to save a few copies of the book as Mother’s Day is coming, my children’s birthdays, etc. However, Tony Plante earns honorable mention with his wet plate photography limerick. Prize winners please email me your mailing addresses. Anyone else who would like a book email me too, and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks again to everyone who took part. I hope you had as much fun as I did.

love, Mig

Late entry…..

There once was a girl from Nantucket
Who kept her glass eye in her pocket
To her boyfriend she said
If you’re looking for head
You can put your bell-end in the socket

The US has spared no expense
In training their ladies and gents.
Though they have been seeing
No medals in skiing
They win all the X-Games events.

I’m worried for my darling Esther
The SEC came to arrest her
When I had no money
I still was her honey
And she was my angel (investor).

In my life, I might have to miss
all feelings of erotic bliss.
I’ve got elephantitus,
necrotizing fasciitis,
and leprosy – give us a kiss!

I had a Norse god near the Fjord,
With such passion, like no one before!
I keep his name private,
Though I seek medical solace,
Since our dalliance left me quite Thor.

As speed-skating starts, I compose,
Of a fictional athlete I chose.
And though Sochi is tired,
I’m still quite inspired.
By the leper who won by a nose.

Many years ago Poe married Clemm,
Only 14, and cousin to him.
Code-named Annabel, Lenore
And Helen, what a bore,
When her real name rhymes so well with “phlegm.”

Hugh Hefner just said what they hey
And married twin sisters one day.
He said it’s not bigamy
Or even polygamy
If they both have the same DNA.

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
Sometimes gets a strange urge – it’s a strong ‘un
So he’ll whip out his wang
In his room in Pyongyang
And do his poor wife up the wrong ‘un

After flocking to his date in a rush
Exclaimed he “Yon bird is quite butch!”
The poet’s love raven
Still thought he a mavin
‘Cos Poe folk don’ spec much

Wet collodion photographer Brady
Showed his darkroom to a handsome young lady,
“As the darkness envelops,
We’ll see what develops,
For the plates must be kept somewhere shady.”

On Valentine’s Day people send
Their love to a partner or friend
But think about this
Every time that you kiss
You make a tube with an ass at each end
