Fair Game

There is this guy of 'Poetry Soup' Fame
Ran a contest with 'I just can't win' Name
Because he will not count past three
Ninety seven losers there will be
Guess i will just have to be 'Fair Game'!

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/9/2012 2:33:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Harry Horsman Date: 5/9/2012 2:55:00 PM Hi Carolyn, thank you for the interest. i hope Joe take's this the right way, i do not have a problem, with the judging, also i support all the contest sponsors rules, especially this one, harry

Robert Pettit Date: 5/9/2012 2:00:00 PM Yes, he was being very selective with the winners in his contest. Good write. Login to Reply

Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Date: 5/9/2012 8:12:00 AM 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 Login to Reply
