Limerick Contest Week One. Ned. The Winners and Grinners.
Starting a new Contest at the start of a 30 Day Rewards Pool fill is a bit like trying to start a new liquor sales outlet in Salt Lake City. So one might think!
I am pleased to say that the good Limerickers of Steemia ignored such trivialities and have joined the frivolities with much mirth and merriment.
Please visit the #limerickcontest channel and join in the fun.
Many thanks to @gardenlady for the provision of this week’s word ‘Ned’ – I think you inspired a few classics along the way. I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I did!
In recognition of all the stalwarts who have a sense of fun:
A new contest that got blown apart
The Rewards Pool is Dead
So write rhymes about Ned
Thank goodness these Steemers have heart!
The Winners of Week One
’NED’
on how to invest all her bread,
He said "to be wise,
If you want steam to rise.
Just come spend a day in my bed."
I'd change my name to Ted
I don't know why
Just something I'd try
I may even call myself Ed
"I'll only give head when we're wed."
So he jumped to his feet,
Found a priest on the street—
And they held the reception in bed.
.
I look forward very much to the word of next week’s contest which will be announced tomorrow, our guest wordsmith being @jacobtothe

Great but very challenging contest this one!
Congrats to the winners!! Great fun!
Thank you for your unfailing support @gardenlady. It truly is very much appreciated.
You ought to come and judge one of these contests one day - limericks or stories ... up to you.
I would welcome the collaboration.
Up to you.
very tempting, but gardening season has opened wide and I am out all day every day at clients. So i'd hate to say yes, and then fall down on the responsibility since work has picked up.
But yes...someday :-)

Thank you so much @shadowspub, I really appreciate that, as will the authors of these funny rhymes!
