Kid Lit Drink Night a Howling Success!

We were all in costume. Guess which one is Brenda.

You should have been at the Ram last night, because the dirty kid lit-themed limericks were flying fast and furious. Beth Stanton even brought two, complete with illustrations! The judges (me) couldn't decide whose was best, so Dana Arnim, Helen Landalf, Beth Stanton and Brenda Winter Hansen will all be sharing one seat on Jack Gantos' private jet when he flies home from his gig at the UW on Nov 7. They are on the hook for somehow getting back home. Brenda, also winner of the costume contest, will be getting one complimentary beverage on that jet.

Here are the limericks:
Brenda
A vampire trying his luck,

Tipped the waitress a whole extra buck,

Within five minutes of flirt,

She saw blood on her shirt, 

So she slapped him and said,

Dude, you suck!

Helen

There was a young wizard named Harry

Who of girls was suspiciously wary

When he stumbled upon

A fine fellow named Ron

He said, "Now it makes sense: I'm a fairy!"

Dana1

There was a young wizard named Potter

Who, as he grew older, got hotter

Mrs. Weasley & Pa

They laid down the law

And said keep your mitts off our daughter!

Elizabeth Rose Stanton

okay, this isn't really a limerick, but it's gross and illustrated, so it's a winner in my book

Even better: gross, illustrated AND a limerick. Well done, Beth!
