RCC Limerick Coin Contest Voting Thread

The time has come for voting for you favorite limerick. The winner is the
person who gets the most votes from other RCC members. The bonus winner has
been picked by me but will not be revealed until the vote winner is picked.

To review:

1) You may not vote for yourself
2) It is sufficient to state the poster's name but if you want to assign
your vote to a particular limerick please do.
3) One vote per person and please, no sock puppets.


In that case of a tie the winner will be decided by (what else) a coin flip.

If participation in voting is low and we have a multiple way tie I will set
up a mini tournament with each winner winning by coin flip.

the objects they were protecting (8)

Cache getting fatter (5)
In 2 by 2's in my folder (9)

Numismatics, Hobby of Kings! (9)
Each new purchase, Happiness brings (9)
Bank account is nil (5)
Which makes you quite ill ... (5)
Coin is gone when auction bell rings! (9)

Who sells coins I wish were all mine (8)
And though they're so nice (5)
I looked at the price (5)
Decided to settle for "Fine" (8)

Apologies to Amistad. I missed one corrected entry.

Remarkably more than first thought! (8)


Please let me know if I missed anything else.

I vote for Padraic Brown's entries (all three of them).

I'm glad all we have to vote for is the author. If I had to choose a
specific limerick, I've have to abstain (all of them were good).
