The next location for versifying is Banff, a resort town in Alberta, Canada, about 80mis west of Calgary. Please submit your limericks to me via PM.

Don't hold your bteath waiting for submissions. RhymeZone has only one rhyme and that seems a non-word.

I didn't congratulate you on your last limerick, bethree5. You got my vote! Great job!

Difficult?
Nah, piece of cake. Sent mine already.

I sent one in and took plenty of liberties with it! LOL

So how many do you have now? Still just two?

I have sent one, so that's at least 3.

My mind is still in neutral with this one. If my mind were an old English car I'd blame Girling for their leaking hydraulic clutch cylinders. Nor can I blame Joseph Lucas, the famous British "Prince of Darkness," for the starter's failure. The failure is my own, having lost my head gasket, which has allowed my cerebro-spinal fluid to run out, causing severe neuronal overheat.

So far we have 7 limericks from 4 contributors. I'll wait another couple of days to see if Geoff's neurons, & those of a couple other regular limericists, fire up.

Anyone who can write the above, can write a limerick on Banff! LOL

Oh, my. This one was hard - I sent one but it has a .000001% chance of winning. Smile

Ha! Kalleh, if that is your chance, what is mine? I haven't even received a single vote at all on any I have written the last few times.

I've managed to spew some swill in (ad)verse or (per)verse. Ugh.

So, are we up to 9 now? I started a second one, but it is going nowhere fast. I think I might just stick with the one.

Hey, I have an idea - let's vote for the best and the worst limericks. Razz (Kidding of course; however, mine would be in the running for the worst, that's for sure - I just didn't have any inspirations this time).

Mine are, as always, brilliant. My talent is exceeded only by my modesty.
Or perhaps that's just the Dunning-Kruger effect talking.

Not sure about always, but I would have to agree that they usually are, Bob.

I wouldn't dare to be that cheeky, but I always think mine are at least vote-worthy, otherwise I wouldn't put them in, but my most frequent number of votes is zero, so clearly some of them aren't.


Regards Greg

I think it's the language barrier. We all don't speak the same English in the same way.

Well, we have a tidy quorum now, 10 limericks from six contestants. I'll wait 'til the end of the day, then post the poll.

Really? Maybe I shouldn't have entered one then because I don't see mine as being vote worthy. Yet, I hated to sit this one out as it just didn't seem the polite thing to do. And one never knows what might strike anothers' fancy.

I note that the days must be very long in Philly.

Isn't she the woman Oscar Levant knew before she was a virgin?

It's just that this one was a bit too hard, and we want to move onto something a bit easier, hopefully.

That's pretty old time! It's been some years since Bombay reverted to the pre-colonial name, Mumbai.

I hope you didn't write #4. I voted for it, and I'd hate to see you establishing a monopoly on selecting cities! Wink
