Thank you to the fifteen creative souls who sent in sixteen limericks for last week’s contest!
Nine of you opted to send them directly to me—though only four of you had to, due to the rules about content and language*—thanks for sharing them with me!
All the limericks were all amazing—if occasionally disturbing—so it’s a good thing I didn’t have to pick the one I liked the best, since I wouldn’t be able to afford the prizes for a fifteen-poet-tie.
Instead, the winner was chosen, as promised, by Sunny from Janie’s Cincinnati Red’s hat:
Congratulations, amyg!
E-mail me your choice of a regular sized mug from CafePress, amy, and tell me where to mail it.**
Thanks for playing along, everyone. I hope you had fun, too.
Stay tuned for the next contest!***

SHUT UP!!!!
you know, i’m now adding “…award winning poet” to my resume.
my address is on the way.
NEVER!!!! 😀
Maybe I should offer a small blog banner for winners?
Got it — wonderful mug choice!
OOOO. Love the mug. Good choice Amy and congratulations!
Ha! I’ll blurb you on your next book of poetry, Amy.
Long week here, and I missed out on this contest. Just as well, I could never have competed with this great stuff! Next time, I’ll try to channel my Roald Dahl.
I’d love to hold a Roald Dahl poetry contest! 😀
Thanks for the idea, Sherry!
I wish I’d know about this one in advance! 😀

Hi, Marie!
Sorry you missed it — maybe next time?
(yep — big Damon Runyon fan)
🙂
Congratulations amyg 🙂
I’m impressed, I had about four limericks started, and none of them had a decent fifth line 🙂
Woot! Congratulations, Amyg. (Does that come pre-filled with a dirty chai latte?)
Um . . . unless that’s another name for packing peanuts, no.
Congrats, Amyg! Love it!
dirty chai:
chai latte with shot of espresso
(if you order it my way: skim, extra chai, no foam)
Oh. YUM!
