Celtophilia

Welcome back, we're glad you're here!

Well Ladies and Gents, it took a while to get everything sorted out on our end. We pored over the entries for hours on end, critiquing each tiny element of each limerick…. oh, wait, no, that was something else. Anyway, it took us a while to get everything taken care of, but now we can officially announce the winners in the 1st Annual Celtophilia Limerick Contest! Once again, a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who participated, by writing and submitting a limerick and by voting. By pretty much all measures, the results for the contest exceeded our goals and expectations. You all are awesome.

Now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for….

The Contest Winners, as selected by YOUR VOTES.

1st Place - Bob Hogg

All welcome, there’s food on the griddle,
And singing, don’t fidget and twiddle.
Let the music begin;
Free the Celtic within,
With a bodrahn, a flute and a fiddle.

2nd Place - Shannon Smith

The members of Three Quarter Ale
Are sweet innocent and PALE
except Wicked Pete
who has stinky feet
and who’s songs about pee miserably FAIL

And The Contest Winners, as selected by Celtophilia

1st Place - Richard English

A young Irish piper called Mick,
Loved Guinness and thought up a trick.
He’d fill up the spout
Of his pipes with some stout
And when thirsty he’d take a quick lick.

2nd Place - Jane Auerbach

The worth of Marc’s album’s impugned.
Could his autoharp not have been tuned?
A hairball the size
Of the Blarney Stone lies
On the bar where my cat has just swooned.

All of you should be receiving an email from limericks@celtophilia.com in the next day or so, if we haven’t contacted you already. Again, thank you so much for participating in this year’s contest.

Slainte,

Bonnie & Mike
