1. There was an old fellow of Nome Whose forehead resembled a dome He measured his worth By his cranial girth And his lack of a need for a comb
2. She had a chance to move from Nome. She said, "I'd rather be in Rome. The weather's better. Hot men wear leather. Some priests inspire under a dome."
3. Nudists ought not live in Nome Too frigid to call it your home It's often so chilly You'll freeze nose and willy You'd better try Naples or Rome.
4. A day shopping for veges in Nome Wasn't easy 'coz Nome didnt grome But the Pilgrim Hot Springs Is about to change things 'Coz they grome and they shome and we ome.
5. There once was a fellow, Jerome From a very cold city called Nome. His beard - it was frozen, And while he was dozin', The kids would all spray it with foam.
6. A baldy who lived up in Nome Has never had need of a comb. He seldom gets chilly (Now this may sound silly) A sea otter sleeps on his dome.
7. A tech-savvy hunter from Nome Brought his laptop whenever he'd roam "I've been on Safari In search of my quarry But frankly I'd rather use Chrome..."
8. "Goodbye, goodbye," he said to Nome. "I much prefer a warmer home. Somewhere that's sunny. You'll be my honey. We'll make a life on love that's grown."
9. A shapely young woman of Nome Backed into a butcher shop tome Disaster, I'd say And up to this day She seldom if ever leaves home ______________________

I'll go with #7 because I can't resist a good pun. I also liked the pitch-perfect #1 and the verbally very clever #4.

I thought I had voted already but I can't remember which one I thought I voted for so I think I'll choose again and have 3.

Nine limericks, five authors, only three votes? Surely _someone_ else must have an opinion worth expressing...
