Entries are pouring in for TradeWinds' new Limerick Laureate with some of last year's competitors making a rhymic reprise.

Anchors away, shipmates! Time to chart, Nautical rhymes as a work of art, Cast off in your rhyming boat, Get your limericks afloat, Set sail to TradeWinds to seek a vote.

Some of the early entries to our Limerick Laureate contest.
We have had entries from across the full spread of TradeWinds readers and a notable non-entry from Paul Leand, chief executive of New York based AMA Capital Partners.
