Ludicrous Limerick Challenge Winners
An inside look into the Vocal Curation Team's favorite limericks from the Ludicrous Limerick Challenge
What an incredibly fun Challenge this was! As always, limitation bred sheer lyrical brilliance!
Limericks are meant to be on the nose, to hit you hard and fast, to make you laugh, think and smile instantly. So, we'll keep our praise and musings short because dissecting a limerick is like dissecting a sunset; just let it be beautiful. We're even adding a few more Honorable Mentions to this post because y'all crushed this Challenge.
Here are the winners of the Ludicrous Limerick Challenge and spotlight on four of the Runners-Up. You can check out the full list of winners HERE.
$2,000 Grand Prize Winner
the Phuzz for Breaking The News
the Phuzz gave us exactly what we were looking for: a razor sharp limerick about an absurdity of life that sums up a ubiquitous, important (and broken) part of our culture. Congratulations, the Phuzz!
$250 Second Place Winner
Morgana Miller for Dear Terminologia Anatomica
All we have to say about this one is, Preach! Congratulations, Morgana Miller!
Honorable Mention
Pete Gustavson for Smart
Similar to our Grand Prize limerick, there's a dark, apt humor to this limerick. Snappy, too! Well done, Pete Gustavson!
Honorable Mention
Marsha Singh for Fuzz
This limerick made us laugh and think. Gender norms be damned! Let the hair flo(w)! Well done, Marsha Singh!
Honorable Mention
Laura Merchant for Self-Taught
There is vital wisdom in this limerick. It's all about the journey! Well done, Laura Merchant!
Honorable Mention
Panda of Pandemonium for Rye's Conundrum
Talk about a bullseye for the prompt. This one stings of a hard, deep truth. Well done, Panda of Pandemonium!

Tall Tail Challenge Winners
This Challenge was a fun little twofer! Write a story about a talking animal but make it quick! 1,000 words or less was all you had to make an animal talk. We are particularly fond of Challenges with shorter word limits because we often see in them some of the most creative entries. There's something about limitation that makes humans sharper, more creative, especially when it comes to art.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

Congrats everyone! This challenge was my favorite one by far!!
Thank you! I really enjoyed this challenge & am honoured to be a runner up for Rock On!! Rock on, Vocal & all writers!!
congratulations to winners.
wow... I often wonder about the process of selection of the winners. Though I'm happy for the runner-up, the goo limerick not only didn't rhyme concretion and semen, was also confusing and has nothing to do with absurdity of life imo.
The medical term for discharge is leukorrhea.
