Thanks, Bob.

Please remember, whether you submitted a limerick or not, you can vote.

We need a tie breaker.

I must be getting senile. Even though I don't remember having seen this thread before, the poll's computer told me I already voted once and can't vote again.

Bob can just do what I did once - exercise a casting vote.

A three way tie!

OK, I'll have a casting vote.
The options appear to be 2 5 or 6. Now all of you have done very well and I don't want any tears. Remember in a sense you are all winners. Of course in the only sense that actually counts for anything all but one of you are losers.
Life can be cruel.

Number five has to be rejected because the vowel in that last line is close but doesn't actually rhyme. Number two I liked but number six accurately captures a pastime far more likely in Tipton than shooting a porno movie so the winner is ...

Number 6 posted by Kalleh

For the record the entries were by

1 Kalleh
2 Greg
3 stella
4 Richard
5 stella
6 Kalleh
7 Greg

I am happy that Kalleh won. Personally I really liked and voted for Stella's Egyptian inscription limerick. However I do have to say Bob, you're just another local swearing that it didn't happen, but I bet it has.

I hope my #1 limerick didn't sway Bob, but even if it did, I am happy!

I'll start a new thread with a new venue to limericize.

To those sweet two who voted for mine: Thank you!
