All limericks aside.... a Clerihew for the winner!

Congratulations, Candy.
Clerihews now, eh?

Jeremy Clarkson
Back up and park, son.
The BBC (and me) have had enough
Of your tedious, xenophobic guff.
A girl, Burquette, ran a contest.

Next month maybe more
A gold you could score,
Stay tuned, watch the forums, for the next.
Terrible, right? That's why I host and don't enter.
