Have you got the luck of the Irish? Complete this limerick and you could win a trip for two to Ireland including return flights with Etihad and a 12 day Insight Vacations coach tour. Don’t worry it doesn’t even have to rhyme.

Limerick that needs to be finished is:

If you win, the things you’ll like most
About your tour round Ireland’s green coast
Are the people and places,
The craic and the faces
Finish limerick


Note: terms and conditions state that can be entered via discoverireland.com.au by following the links but I cannot see the comp on this website as yet

Thanks for the post!

I think I was destined to win this one
- My name means Ireland
- I was born on St Patricks Day
- Last year I gave birth to my daughter on my birthday (St Patricks Day)
Could it all be an omen...................;)

does a limerick have certain amount of lines or not,
i thought it was 7 but not sure if it matters if 5 or 6 lines

thanks buffy13

A light humorous, nonsensical, or bawdy verse of five anapestic lines usually with the rhyme scheme aabba.
so the first 2 and last rhyme.:)

If you win, the things you’ll like most
About your tour round Ireland’s green coast
Are the people and places,
The craic and the faces
And all the great beer to toast

Thanks for the comp Tarzwal. Finishes today. Good Luck! :D


mska - 29-3-2009 @ 01:36 AM

I'd be surprised if they really judge this on 10/4. It's my sister's 50th birthday...and Good Friday! :D


Diwin - 29-4-2009 @ 09:30 AM

So who else had a minor heart attack today when they received an email saying "Congratulations to the winner ..." :D
Sadly I wasn't the winner, it was just a general email advising of the winner but it was good that they published the winning entry. Hope I'm allowed to post it - the winning entry is:

If you win the things you'll like most
About your tour round Ireland's green coast
Are the people and places
The craic and the faces
And the warmth and spirit it hosts.

Congratulations to the lucky winner (initials KA). :)


awanda - 29-4-2009 @ 10:12 AM

Yes Diwin had the same small heart palputation! And I thought my entry was quite clever...clearly not haha. Congrats to the winner - hope it was someone from lotto's


ibon - 29-4-2009 @ 11:05 AM

Me three on the mini-heart attack! Oh well, I thought the winning limerick was very deserving.


clover - 29-4-2009 @ 10:18 PM

just for a second....there was hope

agree, it was a very good answer. must a been heaps of entries and I would think there were a lot of similar answers but that was simple, nice, and a deserving winner.

good to see the result published
