With St. Patrick’s Day 2009 approaching, InfiniteQueso is sponsoring its 1st Annual Limerick Writing Contest!The grand prize will be a $10 iTunes or Starbucks gift card. (Sorry, pot o’ gold not available.)
The theme for this year is: "Web 2.0 and Social Networking".
Here’s how to play…
InfiniteQueso’s 1st Annual Limerick Contest Rules (revised):
1. All entries must follow limerick form: one stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth having approximately nine syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having five or six syllables and rhyming separately.
2. Judging will be based on humor and creativity, within the theme of “Web 2.0 and Social Networking”.
3. Bonus points will be awarded for internal rhyme, alliteration, or some element of wordplay.
4. All entries must be clean! No vulgarity or cursing. Any entry violating this rule will be deleted. I realize this may take the fun out of it for some of you. And it’s true:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
So this ups the difficulty quotient…but I know you’re up for the challenge!
5. All entries must be an original composition of the entrant.
6. All entrants must reveal their identities. Anonymous entries will not be eligible for the grand prize. (If you don’t have a Google or Blogger account, feel free to just include your name in the body of your comment.)
7. There is no limit to how many limericks a person may enter into the contest. (But do try to show some self-control.)
8. All entries must be posted in the comments section of this post by midnight (CST) on Saturday, March 14, 2009.
9. Finalists will be announced in a new post on Sunday, March 15.
10. The grand prize winner will be determined by a public vote. The polls will close at midnight (CST) on Monday, March 16, 2009.
11. The grand prize winner will be announced on Tuesday, March 17.

With hope, I click my on my profile
ReplyDeleteI scroll down, but there will be no smile
My wife has more friends
This may be the end
I’m going to keep living in denial
Awkward dates can be found on the web
ReplyDeleteJust one click of my mouse to meet "Fred"
We'll have a short chat
And that will be that
My love life is now less than dead :{
Please forgive me, I don't really care
ReplyDeleteWhere you went, or what clothes you did wear
For the point, can’t you see
Is all about me
My face, my space, my place in cyb-air!
Consider a new mommy of two
ReplyDeleteWith diapers and tears all the day through
links to the world all around
makes a mommy’s mind sound
this is what I do when missing you
Kids times two equals mommy awake
At unseen hours few can take
clicks to the world outside
keeps contact with friends alive
not near as much fun as coffee or shake
I'm addicted to Facebook and Twitter
ReplyDeleteAt times it makes my wife bitter
She asked very sweet
That I please stop my tweet
But I told her I'm just not a quitter
In efforts to stay connected
ReplyDeleteI add Facebook to be protected
I see a friend with a perm
CLICK, I do and get a "worm"
Now my Blackberry is infected!

ReplyDeleteYet the quest for friendship went wide 'n far.
But he got no Flair and no Twitter
and his Wall did not glitter
Because under "interests" he listed NPR.
