Are you ready for the final chapter in the Great COVID-19 Limerick Challenge? That began by accident early in winter when Gary Hunt took fingers to keyboard, doodled out some pandemic limericks and posted them to Facebook. He encouraged others to weigh in with their own. When they did, he passed them onto yours truly. âMaybe you could get a column out of this,â Hunt suggested. That ended with Hunt collecting scores of limericks from dozens of doggerel divas. The winner of the Great COVID-19 Limerick Challenge was Blacksburg artist Sally Mook. (Her âprizeâ is lunch with Hunt and me, and thatâll happen early in May, just as soon as my vaccination is fully effective.)
