WINNERS ANNOUNCEMENT: LYMMERIK'S LIMERICK CONTEST # 420

OK, HERE WE GO! I'm back from my camping trip, I had so much fun and it was nice to get away for a while.

...but...

This contest received so many excellent Limericks that I had a tough time calling the contest. So I handed out some Honorable Mentions at the end.

Everyone is really getting a good grasp on the rhythmic cadence of a Limerick. All of the entries gave me a chuckle, a Hee-Haw, and a few made me pee my pants! JK!

Here we go! And the Winners Are...

The Winners and Their Prizes

1st Place - 7$ SBD

@fishyculture

Just for you @fishyculture

A Limerick for a Newbie

I knew when I lit up that doobie,

Then there was this limerick of Ruby

There's no rhyme for your name

But still just the same,

First place will go to a newbie

This is @fishyculture's Entry Limerick

Untitled

A daring young lady named Ruby

Had a secret tucked next to her boobie.

She was going to fly

And she hoped to be high

So she smuggled herself a fat doobie.

2nd Place - 5$ SBD

@carrieallen

And You Get a Limerick Too! @carrieallen

Proper Use of Nantucket! Lol!

I once knew a gal from Nantucket

She really knows now how to puff it

She'd take a long toke,

Then tell me a joke,

Then take second place on her Tuffit!

Here is @carrieallen's Entry Limerick

Fancy

In a feather boa I sat

as poised as an aristocrat.

One hit off the bong,

it didn't take long

to slip out my chair and fall flat!

3rd Place - 3$ SBD

Here is Your Limerick @jonknight

You're learning the tricks of the trade,

But then you stay high every day,

I don't think you'll quit it

Not here in this minute

So third place is coming your way.

Here is @jonknight's Entry Limerick

Eat The Roaches

I thought about writing a rhyme

about tokin' and then doin' time,

but I lit up this J

and my thoughts went astray -

so I ate the remains of my crime.

Honorable Mentions

@chrisroberts 1$ SBD

Vigilante de la Marihuana

I smoke and I dab and I vape

While patrolling the streets in a cape;

I feel super strong

With my crime-fighting bong,

From my smoke there can be no escape.

@japhofin8or 1$ SBD

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

I had a steamroller of glass

which broke when I fell on my ass

but that is okay

a can saved the day

a dispose-a-bowl made up real fast.

@geke 1$ SBD

Untitled

As a man, he had made it a point:

only dry lips could toke on his joint.

But she gave back the shit

somewhat moistened with spit.

If she's cute, she's allowed to anoint.

@g-force1980 1$ SBD

Busted

Back when I was a teen

My friends and I used to smoke green

But I was caught by the cops

'Round the back of some shops

And now my police record ain't clean!

@creatr 1$ SBD

Marijuana: That ~Damn~ Plant!

God created a health-giving weed

that makes Pfizer and Merck profits bleed!

The've tried hard to smash it

with their DEA hatchet,

But the damn thing keeps going to seed!
