Vote in the poll at the top of the sidebar before September 12, and then check back on September 13 to see the results. I've played around with Blogger's poller, and I believe you can vote once from each ISP (though I could be wrong...has happened once or twice).
So get out the vote! Check out these clever concoctions and just see if you can proclaim one better than the others. It's tough -- I've tried. Tell your readers to do the same by copying and pasting this emblem that links to the Limerick Chick Vote:
Here are the 13 contenders. Be sure to click on some of the terrific blogs mentioned in them:
1. Jenn in Holland
You know when I joined Leslie's game.
My haiku all started out lame.
If it's all right with you
I may sit this one through
But send players to you all the same!
2. Leslie's first entry
There's a guy some people call Grimm
I often have sex with him
But after some lovin'
A bun's in the oven
And now the pickins are slim
3. Leslie 's second entry
My friend Karly asked, “Why not?
Come write at Wiping Up Snot?
I’m taking a rest
Just do your best
And use all the cuss words you’ve got.”
4. Leslie's third entry
There’s a girl I love called Mackey
We’re so alike it’s just wacky
I’d give her my heart
You know, the half necklace part
But when you’re a grown up that’s tacky
5. Lori
The bloggers I've read this summer
Have been anything but a bummer
Like Oracle Sun
or Yet? Are We Having Fun
You've made me wiser, not dumber.
6. Melissa
This woman draws bloggers together
In the sea of infertility she's our tether
Planning D.C. dinners and drinks
As well as writing posts that make you think
That Lindsay is certainly clever
7. Kristen's first entry
There once was a baby named Snowflake
Who smelled just like angel food cake
She was bright as the sun,
As sweet as Sticky Bun
That she gave her momma a toothache
8. Kristen's second entry
There once was a group of ladies
Who set out to go and make babies
They became Stirrup Queens
Or so it would seem
Until they all wound up with scabies!
9. Topcat
There once was a chick named Topcat
Who wished that she got really fat
Not from pies chips and gravy
But big-bellied with baby
She wants one RIGHT NOW and that's that!
10. Kami's first entry
Tales from my Dusty Ovaries
She won't be visiting wineries
It's the two week wait
Approaching the big date
Wishing her cute little babies
11. Kami's second entry
Infertile bloggers are we
We'll spread 'em for any RE
We just want a baby
A boy or a lady
Or UPON AWAKENING, live childfree
12. Lub's first entry
Why can I not have a baby?
I keep asking God to save me.
He answers in ways,
To calm me from this craze,
Of infertility between me and Davy.
13. Lub's second entry
Symptoms are always a bust
Sore boobies and high temps a must
We all hope we're pregnant
Try not to get hell bent
WTF oops I just cussed.
Remember, the winner earns a prize: a 50% discount on an adoption profile review (value = $125) to use or donate to the mom-to-be of her choice.

I tried to vote but it said the polls were unavailable. Waaaaaaaaaah!
OMG - I was mentioned! *blush*
This is a tough one... I am about to decide between Kristen's second and Lub's second... those are both excellent (all are good, but these two stood out). Hmmm.... Nice job, folks?
I'm sitting on the 'pute dumbfounded;
To vote for the limerick that sounded
Like beauty in verse,
With nary a curse,
A headache, with head-scratching abounded!
Oh, and I meant an exclamation mark and not a questionmark there. DOH! :)
Oohh. Nice work everyone. I wanted to get a limerick together, but clearly I limerick as well as I dance (offbeat, and not with much natural rhythm I'm afraid). I'll leave it to those who have a knack.
P.S. Lori: Thanks for your kind support. Much appreciated!
Yeah, and I misspelled "cleverest" (which isn't a word, anyway) in the poll and now I can't change it.
Waaaaaaah!
These limericks are so great! Please make this an event that repeats every few months - I'd really like to try my hand at it :) Kami - thanks for using my blogname!
These are all great! I particularly loved #11.
There are so many good ones I just can't decide.
Unlike a presidential election :-(.
Oh, and KarenO, I'll honor your request and run the contest again in March -- near St Patrick's Day!
