Only three? Too bad!

Sorry B35, I really did try but I just couldn't make anything work for me. Don't know why as there are lots of rhymes and I had quite a few good ideas, but nothing in the end that I was prepared to put my name to. I have voted though.

No problem Greg (she cranked out on one bar of Verizon signal to the deep woods of rural NYS). I am chalking my own feeble effort up to the incessant unworldly hubbub of NJ's 17-yr cicadas. Glad to have escaped for a few days. It's wonderfully quiet up here.

When Jeb Raltar was last in Bayonne,
He spent many cold nights all alone.
All the women he found\
Were quite willing to pound
But he got himself off on his own.

What say you, folks? Have just returned from my trip. It looks like 6 votes may be all we're going to get.

At least ti didn't end in a tie.

#1 and the winner is by Kalleh. Good rhyme & meter, it's actually about Bayonne, & a nice double rhyme in l.2 brings it home. The remaining 3 votes were divided between Proof's bay bey and bethree's tarty crone. Take it away, Kalleh!

Worthy Winner. Well done Kalleh. I voted for yours, but I might have been tempted to vote for Proof's Jeb Raltar limerick had it been in the contest.

I thought there was an unwritten agreement that Kalleh was never to win, allowing her to endlessly kvetch about voting irregularities. Who upset the apple cart?

You Did - by not getting your limerick in the contest!

Well, there were only three limericks this time, so it's hardly a legitimate contest.

But I'll do the next one anyway!

Sorry, I guess Greg wanted a formal notification in this thread that Glasgow is the next word. Here it is! Please send me a PM with your limericks.
