I hereby open the Limerick Chick Contest for 2011!
Valentine’s Day has passed, and that means it’s time for all things green and Irish. And what could be more Irish than wordplay that is eponymous with a county in Ireland?
The big question this year is: Will Erica make it a three-peat?
Erica of MotherhoodMeetsMe won in 2010 with:
Sometimes I go home and get frisky.
When the good deed is done.
I’m Wishing 4 One.
Or at least eat some spam and some latke.
And Erica also took the trophy in 2009:
I once was scared of the gyno
Now I’ll drop my pants for a rhino
When bad times are worse
There’s blogs like the mrsch
Or instead I can just be a whino
~~~~~
Niobe of Dead Baby Jokes won in 2008.
Said, “Look, my name sounds like Nairobi
It isn’t ni-OBE
Doesn’t rhyme with microbe
And if you don’t like it, then blow me.”
Kristen of Sticky but Sweet won in 2007.
Who set out to go and make babies
They became Stirrup Queens
Or so it would seem
Until they all wound up with scabies!
Who will be the winning limericist for 2011?

I had NO IDEA about this contest the past few years…OMG, I’m sooooo excited.
WHAT FUN!!!!!!
woohoo. You know I got some limericks up my sleeve.
This might be the year I jump…or not…we’ll see. : )
Jump, JUMP!
Lori, you have well deserved fame
We have a very similar name
You started blogging
I started following
And things have never been the same.
Yay, Denver Laura, for submitting the first entry! Very clever, my doppel-namer!
I am so ready to go. My limerick is going up tomorrow morning in the Roundup.
Yay! I don’t have the skills myself but I love reading the entries.
I am first! I worked hard on mine this year — I’m bringing my A game, Erica. Watch your Limerick-writing back.
I’m in this year! I have lurked and read in the past, but I am ready to bring it this time! 🙂 I am fine tuning my entry and will be posting it on my blog/linking to it from here in the next day or two. Thanks for hosting! Very fun Lori!
OK, I did the linky tools but there was no place to submit my entry….clearly I am missing something…
I figured it all out AFTER (must learn to read instructions thoroughly BEFORE acting (which is a problem I have when trying a new recipe, too).
Here is a link to my entry:

Ok, here’s my actual real submission (pls delete my messed up linky one).
Family is just what you make it
You can love what you have or forsake it
When you’re loved by your friends
You can take what life sends
If it’s real love, you’ll never mistake it
Since it’s #FF, y’all should totally check out GreebleMonkey. com (if you haven’t already). She also has cool contests like Lori.
There once was a girl named Lori
At Bethany I joined her story
Kamikazes we drank
While we studied for Hank
Economics in all of it’s glory
Since neither of us managed to fail
I tell you the rest of the tale
We both left college
To learn real life knowledge
That we share thru Facebook email
Limerick entry
Asparagus, spinach and corn
Salad tomatoes adorn
It moistens your mouth
Your hand wanders south
VeganYumYum is vegetable porn
SO fun! I finally finished my limerick and have posted it. THANKS for hosting again. LOVE your yearly limerick tradition. 🙂
P.S. I am having difficulty getting the contest button to post in my blog…will have to tinker with it again tomorrow, sorry. 🙂
100% organic genius. A veritable cornucopia of delectable, wholesome goodness with a saucy little twist.
i made a limerick my my self-
There was a old man from Peru
who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He awoke in the night
with a terrible fright
and found out it was quite true..
