Congrats, YesNo! I must have overlooked this contest... sigh
In looking through the old contests, I noticed this one. The contest is going again! Comedy, satire, pun and the like.
Subject? It doesn't matter, any subject will do.
Deadline? When I get a few entries.
The doorbell rang about ten minutes ago.
It's girl scout cookie season once again.
Pulled out a couple of Hamilton's
at four bucks a pop that means five boxes, right?
(I like to test their math skills,
to be honest it's my way of getting around an older brain)
Decision time again; Samoas are a no brainer
put two in my container.
Two thin mints by order of the wife
One more box, a tough choice,
the scout said she likes "tagalongs"
Sounds good to me.
Unrequited love.
"Romance it is not dead," he said
"Within my heart it beats."
She coyly smiled when this he said,
And offered up some treats.
"These, my lips of cherry red,
You may now kiss with yours,
Upon my bosom rest your head.
But keep out of my drawers."
"Cruel, cruel love" he cried distressed,
"My heart! feel how it pounds."
"Alas!" she said I do not jest,
Forth base is out of bounds.
One more day for this contest! Deadline Monday evening April 18th.
Contest is over!
Gilliatt Gurgle: That is a really nice ending with the innocent girl scout recommending Tagalongs. I can just see all this happening.
prendrelemick: The "forth" base reminds me of a home run. Nice meter.
These are both good and thank you for entering them.
Winner: prendrelemick!
Thanks Yesno. Next subject is ... Something you've read in a newspaper or magazine.
I don’t read the papers so
I must admit I do not know.
I do admit I do not care.
The price of oil might rise somewhere.
Let Britain and the EU split.
Let Scotland have a piece of it.
Let Trump attempt to win the race.
In any case we’ll have to face
Whatever bull might hit the fan.
And in that case who needs a plan?
I only need some place to hide
So what’s unreal can stay outside.
