Shooter Grrl Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Harumph! We'll just see about that! But at any rate, BE said I could strut around the forums cause I won March... it's just that the thread is gone so I can't prove it, yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Meeting one's match is such fun, When spewing out "verse by the ton." So, hail to our tightloop! (Whose verse is in "A" group)... But, hey, his work's only begun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 To jot down a winning design It must have both rhythm and rhyme And though time is near If I show little fear The Book very soon will be mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Watch this thinly veiled attempt to butter up the judge. A champion Cup shooter named Brian Shot down plates, till the judges were cryin' He said, "That was fun." As he holstered his gun For his record, they all are still tryin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 What are the guidelines for this limerick contest? Is there a limit concerning the number of stanzas which are allowable, and what about the number of contest entries? I wouldn't want to get the FTDR for not being in the Spirit of the contest!!!

SiG Lady Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 TL-- It was my impression that: 1.) The bulk of the competition would occur ON April 1st for one day only 2.) There was no limit to the number of limericks entered on that day, necessarily 3.) The limerick material had to be originally written by the person posting Then I saw the April contest forum suddenly open up (it's still March, I think), so I was just as confused as you. I've been limericking simply because I can and tend to think in rhyme when I get going on it.... so if someone gets me started, they just keep coming. Ask Brian. I can't tell you why the April contest forum topic showed up this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 It is not the official April - Win A Book. I started it to find out if anyone but you and me and Shooter Grrl would write a rhyme when the time came. So far noone else has... I too am under the impression that it would be a one day contest, on 4-1-03 No limit to the number of entries. Winner chosen by Benos. Original material only. What about length? Not saying that quantity would be more appropriate than quality, but a moderate number of stanzas, limited to, say max of 10? I mean length could get out of hand, by some of the posters who find it so easy to think in rhyme...don't you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 My assumption on Limerick form to use is the one we've already been using to date. Or, as you say, it could get outa hand. I'm all for using this standard form. ALSO: Brian never quite mentioned (if memory serves me) what TOPIC we were to rhyme ABOUT. Perhaps he'll stop by here sometime before April 1st and make a professional suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 Since I already have mine written, I am loathe to prod him on a specific topic. Why don't we just let the topic fly under the radar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 How many times have you tried Or laid in your bed and cried About making a rhyme Which withstood time But found that your brain was fried Or Every good rhymist is taught That although the contest is fraught With lots of odd verse All twisted and terse Their efforts were all for naught Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 wide45 Don't let your first verse get you down Or pucker your face with a frown And if all this chatter Makes you mad as a hatter Go out and act like a clown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
