Enjoying each limerick so fine
As I sip a small glass of red wine
Will you be THE poet?
We feel it? - you'll know it!
As long as it's posted in time. Pars

Nudge I did read this
Apperently while taking a piss
I do have girls very nice
Out from me comes spice
You dont know me so I you miss

This contest is down to the wire.
And romantic talk's lighting a fire.
I'll go cross the border,
For my blue pills on order,
Cause I can't afford another flat tire.

I saw a pretty girl carrying a bucket
you must be mine my heart is on a skyrocket
she said why would i want you
you look like a shrew

to which i replied,because i am the man from nantucket

-guess it helps if you know the nantucket poem

This is not original so don't enter in contest:

Man's greatest inventions are few.
Some are real clever
Like the wheel and the lever,
But more essential by far is the screw.

The winner of the contest is braveheart with the following limerick:

There once was a guy named Charlie,
Whose passion was riding a Harley.
With a cycle of chrome,
Thru the country he'll roam,
And no longer will worry about barley.

Congratulations, Braveheart! You composed with good technical ability, and form. Even a non-AVer can relate to Charlie. More importantly, I felt it's a timely tribute, and one all AV'ers would view as a special salute to Charliep. So, claim it as your own, Charliep and show it to your friends and family.

Thank you so much to each AV'er who took the time to write a limerick/s. The entries were so varied it was interesting and I read them closely. (am a stickler for spelling). Hopperbin was definitely the most prolific writer. Bill Duke's and Nudge's series of multiple limericks had such good rhyme and good humour, they deserve special mention.

And some of you were so Valentinish, ...."rubber boots", "city queen", "pretty girl", "my Dear", "I fell for love"... well you know, all the mush-words, I can only respond with a smooch. Pars
