            A contest took place at The Book Shelf

            Limericks were due by May twelfth

            The ones we preferred

            Used interesting words

            And rhymed with great cunning and stealth

 

 

The Book Shelf is Winona’s locally-owned, independent book store serving readers since 2002.

limerick contest

Some folks in this town, despite stakes dear,
Felt it's time that culture awakes here
Now we all can together
In summer's fair weather
Celebrate Beethoven and Shakespeare
