…but Shannon, blog diva superb, had a little limerick contest and I’m in contention to win this. Right now I’m in next to last place š, and I sure could use a little help from my friends–if not to win, at least to boost my fragile self esteem. She’s got a poll up and readers will determine the winner.
AND IT’S LIMERICKS, Y’ALL– L I M E R I C K S!!!!
It’s not just about winning the prize, it’s about WINNING BECAUSE OF WRITING LIMERICKS!!!
You might not know this, but I love writing them…and reading good ones. And winning limerick contests like the one hosted by the Mamas of Drama??? Well, that practically renders my mental faculties inert.
See? I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT SENTENCE MEANS!!
Pensieve’s Poetic License didn’t just happen out of the blue…seeds began sprouting for it 16 months ago when I had a limerick party; it made sense that the debut of PPL would begin with limericks.
So…whoever has the most votes by Monday morning at 8:00 CST wins.
If you don’t mi
nd voting for me as many times as the poll will allow/just kidding/no I’m not/, I sure would appreciate it!! AND FOR MY NON-BLOGGING FRIENDS WHO SNEAK AND READ MY BLOG? Y’ALL CAN VOTE, TOO! CLICK HERE FOR THE POLL.
** s i g h ** Limerick Queen…I sure would like to snag that crown :).
p.s. Here’s my entry if you wanna know what you’re voting for:
Whatās at stake? An mp3 player.
Would it help if I lift up a pray-er?
āDear God, help me win
Iāll do my best not to sinā–
All Iāve got nowās an 8-track tape player!
And in keeping with "me", I’m afraid, writing limericks is like eating Lay’s Potato Chips…I can’t eat one of the latter, and no way in can I write just ONE of the former. Here are the ones that didn’t make the cut; I imagine you’ll agree with the LAST LINE of the LAST POEM–
Ree and Shannon, fun prizes theyāre a-dumpinā
āCaption Thisā, āLimerick Thatā
Now jump through this hat!
If they asked me āHow high?ā Iād be jumpinā!
āMean momā Iāve been called once or twice
By my kids, when they think Iām ānot niceā.
No, Iām not their best friend,
One day, yes, but til then,
Tough love (but with hugs), my advice.
A similar version:
By my kids, when they think Iām ānot niceā.
I wonāt buy them a cell–
Fight that battle, itās hell!
Our convictions sure come with a price.
Her contest, sure to inspire.
Limericks, weāll write
Smart, witty, contriteā
Til, to bed, we finally retire.
Iām stuck in a limerick black hole;
Five-line rhymes pour forth from my soul.
Yikes! Iāve got stuff to do
Pick up kids, find my shoe!
Help me stop–I’m outta control!!
Thank you and good night :).
I ran over and voted. Tried to twice but it wouldn’t let me. š fingers crossed. š
omgosh, i’m too late to vote. but you won you won. hip hip HOO RAY!!
What’s that? Did you want us to vote for you? You are just so vague about it, I’m not quite sure. š Great limericks. I’ll throw a vote your way and show a sista some love.
You got my vote~ hope you manage to overtake the leader!
Lisa, thank you! And, yeah, I know, these kind of polls DO register IP addresses, so that keeps things fair :).
Acaligurl…If by “won won won” you mean last place…yeah…that’s where I am right now (what was it you clicked on? I’m so confused….) :).
SHB, I AM the Queen of Subtlety sometimes, yes? Ummm, that wouldn’t be this time, huh? š (thanks for sharing the love…).
Chris, thanks, sweets…I just hope I don’t finish LAST at this point!
You are creeping up, bummer!! it wouldn’t let me vote again, but there is now someone below you!
Hi Robin,
You have my vote. I have not been a very active blogger lately. I have enjoyed catching up this morning and reading about your contests and your witty limericks. Visiting your place is always heart-warming. See you on Monday?
On my way to vote now!

Read Dr Seuss’ Fox in Sox,
You’ll find that your words are stuck in a box;
Of patterns and rhymes,
(I’m thinking of limes);
Now off for some bagels and lox.
