The Fourth Annual First Ever Watley Review Limerick Competition
Results!

A surprising number of you heeded the Clarion Call of our Competition, and we have had the indescribable Experience of sifting through Many entries for our Limerick Competition, some of which were actually Limericks. We Applaud the ingenuity with which you have Tormented the English Language on our behalf.

It has been Extremely difficult to choose a winner. However, once we Remembered that the rules allow us to be entirely Arbitrary and Unfair, it became much Easier. Thus we congratulate the estimable Ellen Kunasek for offering the following Verse:

Rhyming "Review" with "nephew" was an Inspired touch, we felt. Madam Kunasek shall be receiving our patented Extra-Large Whisky Mug for her fine poetic Efforts. Space, and certain laws applicable in the state of California, prevent us from printing All the entries we receive (e.g., the ones involving the hitherto unknown term "Face-Fur"). Nonetheless, we award the following four entries the almost, but not quite Entirely, meaningless title of Honorable Mention, and extend our Gratitude to all of you for your Support.
