Giant Cabbage Weigh-Off Limerick Contest – 2025

First Place – $75

Winner: Justin Bailey, Utqiagvik (Barrow), AK

Title: Lemonade (or, when gardening makes lemons …)

My cabbage was huge – a sure winner.
But the moose attack left her much thinner.
I thought of a fix,
got the thirty ought six,
and had moose steaks with coleslaw for dinner.


Second Place – $50

Winner: Cindy Porter, Anchorage, AK

Title: Cabbage Mayhem!

A cabbage escaped from its pen,
And flattened at least fifty men.
It rolled into town,
Crushed half the fairground,
Then politely came back home at ten.


Third Place – $25

Winner: Matthew Summitt, Kersey, CO

Title: WET

That leaf is bigger than a goat.
Pretty sure I could use it as a boat.
I bet cabbage is a great bait.
I’m sure the coho’s can’t wait!
Uh oh, it doesn’t float.
