Limerick Contest
When I was a kid I thought that limericks were “dirty jokes.” It took a few years for me to find out that they were very witty observations of life and can cover just about any topic you can name.
Richard Harrison of the Limerick Contest fame … sent me a pile of information on the monthly contest.
There is a HUGE entry fee of $1.00 … yes as in a BUCK or a LOONIE. Of course if you don’t live in either of those countries, you’ll have to let paypal convert it for you.
I won’t tell you the cash prize amounts … because they are nothing compared to the notariety you are sure to win.
The subject for this months contest is SPORTS – any sport, team, sports figure or witty observation a writer can fit into five lines may win cash or a special merit certificate. The deadline to submit is August 30,2006. Better HURRY!
Here’s a sample limerick:
In sports the hot topic is doping.
Big names in the games are just hoping
They’ll never be asked,
Found out or unmasked,
Till then they are coping or moping.
The subject for September’s contest has already been announced. It is FAMILY - children, parents, crazy relatives, kith and kin of every kind. The deadline is September 31, 2006.
