Erica (Parenthood for Me) extends her winning streak to two with this limerick, which garnered 40% of the nearly 200 votes cast:
I'm an Irish gal who drinks whisky Sometimes I go home and get frisky. When the good deed is done. I'm Wishing 4 One. Or at least eat some spam and some latke.
Alana's poem had lots of fans, too -- a valiant contest all the way around. I declare all 8 of the finalists Limeristas Extraordinaire.
Now, just TRY to pick one of these eight. And VOTE on the sidebar.
1. ParenthoodForMe I'm an Irish gal who drinks whisky
Sometimes I go home and get frisky.
When the good deed is done.
I'm Wishing 4 One.
Or at least eat some spam and some latke.
2. Kym Bionic are two blogging Mamas.
Between them they have three vaginas.
Their humor is sassy,
and if they should ask me,
I'd leave Frank and make them my lovers.
3 Kristin Infertility, needles, and loss
are three things we’d want to toss
like garbage in a can
Instead we will band
Into groups ‘cause of Mel whose the boss
4. JRS No I'm not pregnant just fat Would love to have a child named Matt
I hope stirrup socks
don't bring her hard knocks
or else she might adopt a childlike cat
5. JJ There's a blogger named Suzy who's a knitter
She tweets a lot on twitter
She sure is sweet with all those tweets
Cause she supports every person she meets
6. Emmy You could have knocked me down with a feather
7. Eden There once was a gal named Melissa
Whose infertility was a Right Royal Pisser
She needn't have fussed
Coz it led her to us Now we're all lining up just to kissa!
8. Alana In this world of IF I've been dumped,
Despite my husband having humped.
Gals like Mrs. Gamgee pull me through,
We still hope one day it will be true...
That our stomachs will be baby bumped.
To all entrants and voters, I say, Go raibh maith agaibh!

Flight 2 Entries

When the good deed is done.
I'm Wishing 4 One.
Or at least eat some spam and some latke.
2. Calliope There is a gal in Florida
She keeps me laughing so I don’t get a bored-a
Here We Go Again Fun in the sun with Jen
Her snow days are always avoided
3. Wise Guy Pray, I am not Dreaming of Quiet Places,

And cleaning the mess of the food off their faces,
My body every cycle embraces,
Perpetually yearning for fruitful graces.
4. Fertility Chick All the symptoms were driving me batty,
Thank goodness for sweet blogger, Maddy.
It was my thyroid you see,
All this and infertility!
No wonder I’ve been really bratty!
5. Audrey You'd think that by now it'd be clear
That away from the screen I must steer
Cuz the kids are a' fightin'
While terza rima I'm writin'
For Still Life, I'd limerick like Lear.
6. Missy Another month ends and brings a big nope,
After taking these drugs I want to reach for a rope,
But they're making me mom,
So I try to stay calm,
And reach deep inside to bring out more hope.
7. Kym Bionic are two blogging Mamas.
Between them they have three vaginas.
Their humor is sassy,
and if they should ask me,
I'd leave Frank and make them my lovers.
8. ParenthoodForMe 2 Potty training is quite the event.
Every night I am totally spent.
There are days we’re so close.
Cleaning up poop is gross.
And, today he peed in the vent.
9. Calliope 2 Hanging out in fuzzy pajamas
Photographing Two Hot Mamas They rock out to Ziggy
Now that they have their Figgy
Life is sweet and a lovely new genre

I will have to use some glue.
And if that still not be mine,
I think I will Pamela-ine.

And have you seen the ultrasound wand?!
But I found The Overnite Note,
Her sass keeps me afloat!
Perhaps soon we both will have spawned?

A blogger whose name is Niobe Said, "Look, my name sounds like Nairobi It isn't ni-OBE Doesn't rhyme with microbe And if you don't like it, then blow me."

We have a Grand Champion Limerick Chick of the Uterus. I mean Universe!
The competition was fierce. We had surrogacy. We had fertility meds. We had risque (and hilarious) language. We had dozens of new blogs to check out. Find them all here.
By a teeny-tiny margin (2 votes), however , Niobe prevailed.
Niobe's winning entry A blogger whose name is Niobe Said, "Look, my name sounds like Nairobi It isn't ni-OBE Doesn't rhyme with microbe And if you don't like it, then blow me."
A huge round of bloggy applause for all the other Limerick Chicks who sent in their very clever entries. Voting for only one was truly a tough call. You ladies rock! And here is my tribute to you.
The limerick chicks are so beautimus Composing poems on a computerus They say "Do whatever you want With words, images and font Just no more messing with my hoohahooterus!"
The blogosphere has spoken, favoring three limericks among the 25 entries in the Limerick Chick contest.
Now for the general election. Please select your ONE favorite ditty and vote on the sidebar.
Polls close late Sunday evening and the winner will be announced on St Patrick's Day. (my daughter is having minor surgery very early that morning so I'll get the post up after she's sedated and I'm waiting around in the WiFi'd hospital, trying to keep my mind busy).
Here are your three choices (in no particular order):
1. This blogger enjoys words and their histories She takes photos of life’s little mysteries -- Always a practical sort Who makes a mean torte And whose humor is filled with morbidities.
2. There was a Black surro named Kymberli who played a good joke at delivery. The nurse with affright exclaimed, "This baby is White!" Kym pointed, "He's for them and not me."
3. A blogger whose name is Niobe Said, "Look, my name sounds like Nairobi It isn't ni-OBE Doesn't rhyme with microbe And if you don't like it, then blow me."
Vote on the sidebar and return Monday (sometime) for the announcement.
Furrow was inspired limericize me, and I'm so flattered I want to close with it here.
This new-agey blogger named Lori has insights that make me cry, "Glory!" But she hides a surprise: though she writes of third eyes, she's Republican down at her core, see?
Hillary or Obama. Why do we call one by the first name and the other by the last?
Rhetorical question. The REAL vote this week is among limericks. You'll be able to vote twice, ethically. Here's how it will work.
Through Thursday (March 13), we'll have a "primary." Any interested person can vote once per ISP, and we'll narrow down to the top 3 entries. Limericks are found at the bottom of this post. Look over the very clever entries and pick your very favorite. Warning: it won't be easy.
On Friday morning, I'll put up a new poll that includes only the 3 top vote-getters. Come back then or sometime over the weekend to help determine who gets crowned the top Limerick Chick on St Patrick's Day.
So vote early (now) and vote often (this weekend)!

X. Ms Planner There once was a Cowboy from Portland. Blood, needles and gore, he could not stand. So imagine his chagrin, When his knocked up wife said to him: As I see it, you will be in L&D holding my hand.
Between adding a leap day and subtracting a daylight hour, I've been a bit confused.
If I ever indicated that limerick entries were due yesterday (Saturday), I was mistaken. They are due today (Sunday), or at least before I get the voting set up tomorrow (Monday) morning.
It's March. Time for all things green and Irish. And what could be more Irish than wordplay that is also eponymous with a county in Ireland?
Last fall we held the first Limerick Chick Contest. Click on over to read the very clever entries and to get yourself thinking in the limerick rhyme scheme. Here is the winning limerick, courtesy of Kristen at Sticky Bean.
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!
Rules: 1. Use the limerick form, as in Hickory Dickory Dock. 2. Mention at least one other blog or blogger, with a link to his/her blog. 3. No entries mentioning Nantucket ;-) -- it's just too low-hanging a fruit! 4. Enter by March 9. 5. The winner will be announced on St Patrick's Day. 6. Enter as many times as your creativity allows.
Steps: 1. First post your limerick on your own blog (if you have one. No worries if you don't). 2. Then post your limerick in a comment below, with its permalink back to your blog (if'n you have). 3. Post the Vote Button in your post and on your sidebar, and encourage others to enter and/or vote. I will email you the code when you comment (or deliver it in a comment on your blog, if I can't easily get your email address. You can contact me at bestlightlori at the gmail place).
There is a prize. The winner will receive a 50% discount on an adoption profile review. I'm aware that not everyone will find this valuable, but since I am not in a position to donate eggs, provide cheap Repronex, or come to your house and change diapers while you take a bubble bath (Furrow), this is the best I can do. If you win and don't need it, donate it to someone who does. Make some good karma for yourself.
Go n'eiri an t-adh leat (luck o' the Irish to you).
