poetry festivalLaura’s Art Shoppe Limerick Contest 2019
We had a good number of entries for the Limerick Contest this year!
Congratulations to the winners for some very clever writings.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to write a limerick as well as making donations to the Food Bank in lieu of entry fees.
First Prize: Emma Laughlin
There once was a mouse in a bottle
My first instinct-yes-was to throttle
But mouse squeezed out
To ramble about
And now only air’s in the bottle.
Second Prize: John H. Yates
There once was a scatterbrained cricket,
Who purchased a stamp at the wicket.
But delivery failed
When the letter was mailed,
For the cricket neglected to lick it.
Third Prize: Linda Finnerty
The snow looks so white and pristine
But Mother Nature is very mean
She dumps off a load
That closes the road
And makes Summer a faraway dream.
