We will be posting the entries for our limerick challenge as they are sent to us. You have until March 17th to submit your entry.
Our first entry is by Tiffany Pennywell
Our 2nd entry is from Earnest McDaniel
There once was a couple quite average
The wife had the brains in the marriage
So she took him by hand
And explained to the man
Suffrage and vassalage…and leverage

Hey, writer! You have a right to write for funzies!
And through St. Patrick’s Day—March 17, 2022—we’ll be highlighting limericks written by SWC members, Facebook page members, and friends.
Submit yours on the SWC Facebook page for approval and posting. If you’re not on Facebook, email to shreveportwritersclub@gmail.com. We will also be sharing this to our blog.
What defines a limerick is easily found in Wikipedia and via Google, but see the image for a famous example that’s well done and Louisiana appropriate.
Below, you will also find a limerick—of sorts—written especially for this SWC event. It is not intended as a model! But we do encourage you to mind the helpful guidelines it provides.
“They may be rude, ribald, bawdy, risqué
But on Facebook, the rules do rule the day
The joke need not be naughty
And can’t be mean or snotty
But a limerick should make somebody pay”
Seriously, folks…keep it kind, but snarky is fine.
Now, let’s see your funny bone!

Currently, we are looking at The Agora Borealis to hold our annual holiday potluck.
When we get a confirmation on date and time, we will let you know.
If it does not work out, we will look for an alternate place.
This event will take place of our monthly meeting.
Also, there will be no Critique Meeting this month since many will possibly be traveling for the holidays.
During our potluck event, we like to share written holiday work in any form that is your own.
I look forward to hearing your creative work.
