This is very sitty, Harry. I think sponsors sometimes limit the number of winners so that the losers don't feel bad. I just lost a contest with 28 winners and 35 entries. Joe's heart is in the right place. He just wants to award to best of the best. Really got a kick out of your limerick! Love and best wishes in the dontest, Carolyn

I can count up to five Perhaps to sponsor I should strive Then again I don't know much Perhaps I 'll leave it to you and such and such. Nice one Harry xx
