The Toast Point Limerick Contest!
Squeaky-Clean Entries from May 1995
Only five entries - pretty sad!
The Winners for May
Winning the "Self-Referential" category,
Buckaroo writes 5/18
One day in the Emerald Isle
I was writing haiku by the mile.
But I craved a sensation--
Limerick metric elation--
Every other form 'twas mis'rabile.
And in the "Middle-Eastern Food" category,
Anonymous writes 5/19
A courtesan eating falafel
Finally said: "This is awful!
My chick pea/bean diet
Has caused me to riot -
I'm craving a good belgian waffle!"
NOTE: This limerick got upgraded from Honorable Mention because
Toast Point found it stuck in his mind and scanned rather nicely.
Honorable Mention:
Stan Harding writes 5/20
I know of an awful soprano
Who, landing a guest spot on Leno,
Was ired by his zingers
Re her high shrieking stingers
And threw him into the piano!
Anita Manceau-Baddeley writes 5/19
I no longer want a deep tan.
I've no need to catch me a man.
Disconcern with my belly
Has turned it to jelly
And gone is the exercise plan.
Buckaroo writes 5/18
My office is straight out of hell.
My secret'ry's prone to misspell.
The boss--he's a loon
Aided by a buffoon,
And that's it, in a simple nutshell.
