Extra Word Sudoku (Limerick Qudoku!) Puzzle for Sunday, 4/18/2010

We are proud to present what we consider to be, on the whole, the absolute finest 5-line AABBA poetry being written in the English-speaking world today.”
Word puzzle lovers generally also love word play, so I think you’ll like this: an online limerictionary! The OEDILF is “The Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form.” Its welcome page, http://www.oedlif.com/, begins with the above quote.

I challenge you to solve the Word Sudoku puzzles and complete the three quoted limerick definitions for the same word from the OEDILF. And no, I’m not giving you the word up front!
