And the Winners Are....

The votes have been tallied, and it's time to announce our limerick contest winners!

In first place, by a landslide, is Marguerite!  How kind of you to make me the subject.  I'm blushing.
Here's her award-winning entry.

Come, children, I’ll tell you a story
 

Of a magical hero named Laurie
 

She saves kittens’ lives
 

by the threes, fours and fives
 

without ever accepting the glory 
 

It is told throughout the whole land 


how they thrive with a touch of her hand 


(Or she brings in Charlene,


the Esteemed Butterbean,

 and those kitties will grow on command!)



So let’s all raise a glass of Bourdeaux 
 

To the incredible Laurie Cinotto!


I have many more raves
 

For the kittens she saves, 


I think I have run out of rhymes, though. 

And in second place, this charming piece by Wendy

There once was a kitty so wise,
A nanny in soft fur disguise.
A paw she would lend ,
For sweet kittens to tend,
And watch with her pretty crossed eyes.

Third prize goes to Lynn for her wonderful limerick.

In a little red basket they sit 
Warm and cozy they certainly get 
Little kittens will stuff 
Every ounce of their fluff 
It’s a wonder that everyone fits

Nice work, everyone.   Thank's to all who submitted, and everyone who voted too.

To our winners, I will be contacting you shortly, and we'll work out the arrangements for your prizes.

That was fun, wasn't it?   We'll have to do it again!
