Sorry I didn't choose a place that solicited more entries, but congratulations to everyone who did for being brave and trying to rhyme all 3 syllables. Here are the Limericks for Werribee:

1
A silly young lady from Werribee
Asked her boyfriend, "Now where should my cherry be?"
Said he, "I'll be kind
And that spot we will find,
And the rest of the night we will merry be!"

2
An accountant embezzling in Werribee
packed his bags and escaped on a ferry he
eluded detectives
who issued directives
saying “Where can that bent actuary be?”

3
An American speaking of Werribee,
A blowhard (which isn't a rarity),
Called it a "burb,"
And so did perturb
The locals, who said it was heresy!

4
Said with touch of temerity
And a good slice of sincerity,
"On the road to Geelong,
You can tell by the pong,
When you are passing by Werribee."

5
Exotic equestrian Sarah B.
Rides double at shows down in Werribee
Dressage in a thong
--It's so very wrong!--
Back to back with her twin sister Farrah B.


6
A bloke asked his girl, "Will you marry me
Down by the River in Werribee?"
His Sheila said, "Yes,
But I'll not wear a dress;
I'll come with some jeans and I'll wear a tee."

And I would have voted for it.

Well, once the last vote is in, I believe I will have irrefutable evidence that I wrote the 2 worst limericks for this game. At least I will have won something: The worst limerick entry.

Ok folks, I have cast a vote and made Richard the winner of this game. The limericks came from:

1 - Richard - sorry but I was swayed by its blueness
2 - Bob - clever and could easily have been the winner
3 - Kalleh - loved the use of heresy and the local connection
4 - Mine - loved it, would have voted for it if someone else had written it, but alas nobody else did
5 - Bethree - the only one to get an absolutely perfect 3-syllable rhyme for the way the locals say Werribee, with Sarah B, but then we got let down a little with Farrah B.
6 - Kalleh - as always good local connections, with the River and the use of Sheila - nice work.

Hope those of you who played enjoyed the game.

Over to you Richard.

Well thanks, everyone. I would have chosen the name of the town where I am staying(if a place with fewer than 400 inhabitants can be called a town) but I believe that we have already used Headley (UK) which is pronounced the same as Hedley (Canada) so I won't repeat it.

So I'll go for the nearest place to Hedley with an airport - a town called Penticton. The name is phonetic and the stress is on the middle syllable.

As I only get limited use of this computer I can't guarantee to acknowledge all PMs immediately.
