Zubio Newz
Limerick Winners
And the winning limerick is...
Six people responded to our limerick contest last week. The instructions were to write a limerick that used the words "Zubio" and "Massage." The five runner's up all get a free 10-minute massage coupon. The winner, Vicky Balanov, managed to squeeze in both words and, if you ignore the "has" in the second line, the limerick scans just fine. Congratulations, Vicki! Here is the poem that won her 30-minutes of Zubio Massage: Today on the 12th day of May
Zubio massage has made my day They said just for me 10 minutes for free And all of my knots went away. And here are the other limericks: There were three poems submitted that tried to rhyme "Zubio." We loved this one for the obscure references. _______________________________________ Monastic gals live near Subiaco* Trapped traveling the river Rubico** Desiring a massage They lay down a barrage To escape and relax at Zubio. * nunery in Italy ** river in Italy -Kathleen Romero This one adhered best to the limerick form and we loved the rhyme touch/mush. But Sue, you forgot to include "massage!" _______________________________________ Zubio is a shop that is mythical! Folks trudge there, all alone feeling pitiful! Then with strong, healing touch Tension turns into mush and the clients go home bright and beautiful! -Sue Rowley This was Rimma's first visit to Zubio. Her poem captures the motivation perfectly. _______________________________________ My friend asked me what do I need I said a quick massage indeed She told me to go Straight to Zubio I ran there with lightening speed -Rimma Boshernitsan Another example of creative rhyming. Good going, Lori! _______________________________________ Off to Zubio for a massage To get this crook in my neck dislodged Don't pull my hair... Oh, Yes...right there! To Zubio a round of applause -Lori Herrera Kari's was a day late, but she gets a free massage for stylistic and cultural diversity. _______________________________________ Live healthy and well and go to Zubio Otherwise you may not feel so coolio, Get a ten minute massage And you'll stay out of triage, And let the Zubio staff make you cheerio! -Kari Mayo And, from our own Carlin, who managed to write this in her head while getting an acupuncture treatment definitively demonstrating how stimulating the acupressure points gets the creative juices flowing. _______________________________________ I got a massage down at Zubio And when it was done I was good to go back to my cubicle to work that is crucial Without turning into C3PO -Carlin Holden And finally, here is my modest contribution... _______________________________________ There once was a lass who heard Zubio Could relieve her distress in a jiffy, so She tied back her hair And then sat in their chair For a happy ending without a Lothario. -David Palmer _______________________________________ |
