Contests Contests Footle

My rhyme
‘Sublime’

Low ‘win’
A sin

Last place
Sour face

I moan
And groan

Me thinks
Judge stinks

Bad judge…
Holds grudge

First place…
Disgrace!

Detests
Contests!

05~25~17

(The title is a homograph)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/27/2017 8:23:00 PM haha. I think everyone here has had at least a few of these thoughts running through their minds over the contests here. WELL done. I love these, Jan. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 5/28/2017 4:13:00 AM I had fun with this one and I thought the title was quite ironic Andrea lol I remember someone submitted double footles to my last contest as although they are not what i would have thought of footles they do actually work and of course Brian's form has evolved:-) hugs Jan xx
