 Well Readers, Guests, and Members, another look at the entries:
 
 1.
 The president answers to George,
 The same as at old Valley Forge.
 The first George was just
 And earned people's trust. 
 The new one, at best, is a scourge.
 
 2.
 The president answers to George
 While Cheney does secretly forge
 In corporate guise
 Fresh fraudulent pies
 At federal troughs to engorge
 
 3.
 The President answers to George;
 A warfront, he's trying to forge.
 Between him and Rummy,
 My poor sickened tummy
 is forced all its bile to disgorge.
 
 4.
 The president answers to George.
 Familial truth we disgorge:
 He doesn't exist;
 Now won't you enlist
 To lay down your life for our George?
 
 5.
 The president answers to George,
 When a battle he's trying to forge.
 When he hears calls to "Charge!"
 His dick will enlarge,
 Sigh... If only his brain would engorge.
 
 6.
 The president answers to George
 And to Barbara, the pearl-sporting Norge
 He'd do better, it's said
 If he listened to Jed
 Who can teach him how better to forge.
 
 7.
 The president answers to George
 When young he liked booze pills and org-
 ies more than his books.
 He had few brains or looks,
 But Dad's name he never did forge.
 
 8.
 The president answers to George
 Though not the one from Valley Forge
 He's not honest like Lincoln
 Nor a Roosevelt, I'm thinkin'
 Plus his voice pulls a rise up my gorge
 
 9.
 The president answers to George   
 "Resident" - a name he'd not forge
 We din't vote him in -
 He faked that big win
 and on taxes and oil now he'll gorge
 
 10.
 The president answers to George
 NOT the cool one who rocked Valley Forge
 This one's smart as a gnat
 A spoiled rotten brat
 Think:  Niagra Falls, barrel, and gorge
 
 11.
 The president answers to George
 I'd like to drop him in a forge
 I think if I did
 I'd nail on a lid
 to prevent accidental disgorge
 
 12.
 The president answers to George
 Washington raises his gorge
 When they stutter in lockstep
 He's forced to then hard schlep
 His message, which takes too much cour'ge

Lots of good ones. (Even one metrically challenged entry calls me to vote
for it.) Hard to choose, but

  bumbaugh: 1
  

    
A tough choice among 2, 5, 8, 9, and 10.

I vote for 5

In spite of the awkward meter of the third line
the imager is so perfect and the final line is
so killer, that it gets the nod.
  

    
karish: 2
  

    

Wonderful, wonderful limericks and opinions limerickly presented.
  

    


Yes, I agree.  I'm waiting for an offWEll voter to check in.
  

    


DCWrites [I neglected to get her name but do know she's someone's sister is
why I can properly pronoun the email id]: 10

Tomorrow morning, the tally and bylines.  Still time to vote.
  

    

Yay for DCWrites!
  

    
yay, indeed!
