World Land Trust Limerick Competition – Results
World Land Trust is pleased to announce the Limerick Competition winner.
The overall winner, selected in a public vote, is Sally Peberday. Patrick McKeon came a close second and Peter Davies came third. All three will receive a prize, with Sally winning the overall prize, a meeting with Bill Oddie and a framed copy of the winning limerick.
Limericks submitted by Diana Dentish, Colin McCarthy, Dawn Lawrence, Rowena Millar and Innes Anderson were commended by the judges.
The competition was launched in January 2013 to mark an exhibition of Edward Lear’s prints in World Land Trust gallery.
OVERALL WINNER:
Sally Peberday
An Orang-utan called Joan
was in danger of losing her home,
she called WLT
to help save her trees,
and now she has forests to roam.
RUNNER UP:
Patrick McKeon
World Land Trust has a mission succinct:
Men and all other species are linked
By protecting them all
Whether giant or small
We pay homage to those now extinct
THIRD PLACE:
Peter Davies
There was a young mover and shaker
who knew nothing of ‘acre by acre’
but when left on the shelf
she re-cycled herself,
now she’s saving the world for her Maker.
