Vote for Your Favorite Limerick
January 24, 2008
Okay… here are the Limericks. All 13 of them. Great job! Now, I am not a Limerick know-it-all but I don’t think all of these are true Limericks. I am not going to be a stickler and make sure you followed the United Nations Code for Limerick Entrepreneurs (UNCLE). Just vote for the one you like the best - be it a Limerick or not.
Hubby O’ Mine
There once was a gent raised in Texas,
He drove an old Ford, not a Lexus,
With smooth repartee
And a berry parfait,
(He) won over my cardiac plexus.
By Rebecca
******************************
I’m blessed with a man named Kyle
Who leaves dirty socks in a pile
But he’s really good-looking
And he ain’t bad at cooking
So I’ll clean up his mess and smile
By Ginger
******************************
When he’s gone, my man I am missin’
I love when my hubby will listen
to tales of my days
and the kids funny ways
but better is when we are kissin’!
******************************
A Tribute to My Husband
There was a man whom God told,
“Son, on Me you kept a tight hold.”
“You walked through the fire,
the muck and the mire;
and you came out shining like gold.”
By Angela
******************************
I.T. is his business, my spouse
It’s invaded one floor of my house
Laptop computers,
Gig, meg and ram
Technology small as a mouse
By Amanda
******************************
There was a hunky man named Steve
without him I’d have no reprieve
but then again
how’d I get those kids
oh yeah it was that man named Steve
By HeartChild
******************************
There once was a man, who wore Wranglers and drove a diesel,
Upon meeting him, I thought he twas quite the weasel.
But God changed my life,
And made me his wife,
Now I ride around in a diesel.
By Cathy
******************************
A smile, killer eyes, and a sense of humor
Just a few traits of my awesome mister
And since he’s the first to clean up
When a kid pukes anything up
I’m willing to overlook anything a teeny bit sinister!
******************************
How do I describe my honey in a limerick?
Which five lines would I pick,
to describe such a treasure
as only Heaven could measure?
It would take a lot more lines and a lot less shtick!
By Gina
******************************
I got me a great hubby I’m keepin’
When I see him, my heart starts to leapin’
He’s sweet, funny, and fine
I’m sure glad that he’s mine
All my love on him, I’ll be a heapin’
By Corin
******************************
My Rod is a man who is fearless
In his field of work he is peerless
He’s a fantastic dad
His cooking’s not bad
And I’m so glad that his gut is beer-less.
By Bobbie
******************************
When my husband married me
Children he wanted, two or three
Now he has six,
Even though he got fixed
Three more kids he don’t regret,
Lonely times he’ll never get
Four boys to hunt and fish till morn,
Two girls to make his special popcorn
Can’t imagine what my life would be,
Without my honey and children beside me
And so happy so many years we’ve been,
Hey honey, how ’bout ten?
By Shell
******************************
I don’t think I shall ever see
a man so dear as my hubby
from his handsome looks
to his shelf of books
everything about him so loverly.
By Challice

These are hilarious!
January 24th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
So, how come you didn’t enter one? ;)
January 24th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
It isn’t until the deadline has passed that I think of witty things to say. Sadly, this is true for most situations.

Jeff is the man I did marry
when I met him he was quite hairy
His face and his head
He shaved so we wed
And I told him if I ever saw hair on his face again he could forget ever kissing me.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
And I think Ginger called her relatives across the country to vote for her. Isn’t that cheating?
January 24th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Now that is a true story but that is an anti-limerick and you are too late. Besides, you don’t need what I am giving as the prize.
January 24th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Everyone did a great job! No I didn’t do one because I don’t like coffee!!! KIDDING!! I had to do that for Katie’s sake. :-P I’m no good with limericks or poems of any kind. Regardless, I enjoyed these tremendously!! Now you all have something in time for Valentine’s Day! =)
January 24th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
It wouldn’t let me vote. Is that because I came back to it? I restarted my computer, I wasn’t trying to cheat. I was going to place a vote for Amanda, because both hubby and I chuckled over our ability to relate to hers.
Can you tally another on for hers? (I wrote a different one, so it’s not like I’m a cheating relative. ;) ;) )
January 24th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Just had to say I’m not Ginger’s relative, but I voted for her limerick because it made me laugh! I would have written one but I read the entry too late
January 24th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I would have voted for Katie’s limerick. It’s very funny.
I forgot to send you my blog link. Could you put it in now? http://www.bobbiesjourneyhome.blogspot.com
Thanks :)
January 25th, 2008 at 7:36 am
Love Katie’s limerick. I’m not related to Ginger and I voted for hers too. So there. :)
January 25th, 2008 at 8:21 am
Thanks for your support guys! Jeff and Katie are so mean!
I mean, they’re great. It’s so super nice of them to have this wonderful contest. Even if they did allow non-limericks to compete. I mean they’re all great poems. I mean, oh nevermind.
And I don’t have relatives across the country. And I’m not a cheater.
So there!
January 25th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Just to clarify, my wife has not cheated in any way. In fact, she’s horrible at cheating. She wouldn’t know how to do it. She’s so pure and sweet. If you look really close at her she has this angelic glow around her. I don’t know maybe it’s my medication. Anyway, she doesn’t cheat.
Also, she did tell her friends and relatives to look at the Lymricks and vote for the best one. Is it my fault that her poem stands out. Ginger is very competitive. If she doesn’t win she will hunt down the other contestants and break their Lymrick writing pencils. Kidding (or am I?)
January 25th, 2008 at 9:08 am
I love that Ginger says that she will pick all things up with a smile. How blessed all of our homes would be if we would all do this in everything that we do for our family! And by the way…I am not related to Ginger either, but I did vote for hers. :)
January 25th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Kyle, buddy… Don’t worry about it. My medication does that to me - the doctor said that is normal. I don’t really think I need it, but Katie insists I take it.
January 25th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Well now, I feel kind-of cheated ;) I submitted a full, 4 stanza poem, and got told I could only submit ONE stanza of it. Come to find out that some that aren’t even limericks squeaked in…hmmm. My creative talents have been sorely trodden on :P I will have to go off in a theatrical huff and feel under appreciated ;) Is this contest rigged or is it just that I don’t have computer literate friends? And my kids each want to vote for me…but my ‘puter won’t let them. Can you add 3 votes to mine? :P :D
January 25th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
This is some hot competition! And all for that amazing little red gift card (I don’t even know what that is - I just wanted bragging rights). If you could all just meet the guy who is my muse, you would know which limerick to vote for….
Bring it on ladies!
Oh - will I get kicked out if I admit I live in Canada?
January 25th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
It better not be void if in Canada, because I am there, too! :D
January 25th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Kyle, I don’t have a pencil. SO I can win and be unafeared. :) And if she breaks my lappy, (my laptop on which I compose my writing prowess) my son will bite her ankles. I may not even reprimand him for it. Hehe. All right, well maybe a little.
And how can you not vote for a limerick that rhymes plexus with Texas? Sniffle, sniffle. I’m taking my lappy and staying home.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Actually Rebecca, my one vote was for yours! I liked yours best, and it was afterall a real limerick.
My hubby is a bit melodramatic. I’d never break a pencil! But protect your precious lappy and if anyone bites my ankles, they should know that I will bite back.
January 25th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
And we all lived happily ever after. Aaawwww.
January 25th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Man alive — I voted for Corin — and then went to congratulate her — turns out it’s the wrong Corin.
Hmmm…
Who is this Corin?
January 26th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Corin, is ME…from the woodshed. Otherwise known as LilysMomma.
January 26th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Aw, thanks for the vote, Ginger. Sniffle. :) I thought about the dirty socks one too, but since hubby and I both related to the IT one so much, it was almost a no brainer.
January 26th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
LOL! Hi LilysMomma! I’m the Corin Jennifer thought had written the limerick! The voting decision is a hard one, so I have to vote for the person with the same unusual name spelling as mine!
January 27th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
WOW…now that is something. You are the FIRST person I have ever met, with MY SPELLING.
Our mothers must have been on the same page.
January 27th, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Hey, we named a kid Corin before. She was a Nubian goat. Her mom’s name was Sassy. Does that count :)
January 27th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
LOL….I suppose it counts.
January 27th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
LOL Good thing I think Nubians are the sweetest breed of goats :-D
January 27th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Oh, good! Nubians are really cute and if I was to ever have goats again… I am sure they would be Nubians.
January 27th, 2008 at 11:23 pm
OK — change my vote back to Corin —
if Corin’s voring for Corin —
I want to vote for Corin —
because —
well don’t you want to vote for Corin too??
Nice to meet you Corin — no… I already know you — the OTHER Corin… so confusing… almost like all those 4,000,002 Jennifer’s out there. No — I’m ~*~Jennifer~*~… not just Jennifer ::sigh::
January 27th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
My sister is a Jennifer - you must have been born in the late 60’s - early 70’s, eh?
January 28th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
My best friend is Jennifer. We used to call her JJ, since her last name was a J name too. Then it shortened to Jay. Now, I call her Yaj….because I tell her since she is a bit backwards sometimes, so should her name be.
January 28th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
Must be a Jennifer thing. No offense to all the Jennifers out there.
