The judge of Loony Limerick Competition #2 was Tiffany Norris and she's chosen Bubba's Sis as the winner with this stirling effort ....
She dreamt all her life of an ocean cruise,
Aboard the Queen Mary, with great cabin views,
So when she did marry
Her husband did carry
Her straight to the pier from the pews.
Tiffany also nominated two other efforts for special mentions: Katy Did Not for the line "Mint-flavored Dramamine chews" and Akelamalu for the line "Her over the threshold to tumultuous Yahoos!".

He declared he was late to deliver the presents,
So he gulped down a dinner of brandy and pheasants,
But he soon revealed himself as a fake and a blackguard when he hee heeed instead of ho hoed, and the posh but only slightly pickled hosts became suspicious of his banter.
Sorry. It's late. I should sleep.
