It’s gone! It’s gone! It has really gone I've lost my sense of humour I used to write quite funny poems Now they are a distant rumour I have hunted round to find my muse It’s not in the cupboard or in my shoes I've even moved the old armchair (Only found a sticky toffee under there) So I removed the dust and the ball of fluff Now I've lost a filling and I’m in a huff Well I've hunted high and I've hunted low Folks I really must confess My humour has deserted me so And it’s left me in a dreadful mess So I’m putting out an urgent plea If you find my muse please send it back to me Then I’ll write amusing poems for your delight From the break of dawn to the dead of night 04~19~15 Humourous Poetry – Thomas Martin

Thanks Skat - am not sure what is happening with the contest - i got N/A then it changed to first - next thing every one has got first - think Thomas may have had some issues after re opening the contest:-( Hugs jan xx

Thanks Joseph - sadly I didn't place as there was a glitch with the judging - but to know it wasn't because the sponsor didn't simply not like my poem was enough of a win for me:-) hugs jan xx

I seem to be experiencing quite a few N/A due to computer glitches - maybe soup is trying to tell me something - hey ho - hopefully there will be screwed III and I can dedicate this to PS contest system lol:-) Hugs Jan xxx

I also wrote a poem for this humour contest that I will post down the line.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/22/2015 7:18:00 PM

will be good to read them - cant find the poem you did for just within reach :-( Hugs jan xx

Maurice Yvonne

Date: 4/22/2015 7:15:00 PM

That is why I don't enter contests anymore. Poems of mine that I don't like place first others that I love don't place at all and at the end of the day I can't really complain being a sponsor doesn't mean you have to like the most popular or the best written poems you just have to like what you like. Sometimes it's a glitch, sometimes you missed a comma somewhere you just never know. I am so much happier not to enter. I just posted a poem inspired by John's Just Within Reach contest.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/22/2015 7:16:00 PM

Wise words my friend:-) will go read xx:-) Hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan, Really have read this and made a mental note was one of the best. Sorry couldn't make a quick decision what with all the flood of late entries. I'll be holding another humor contest after the one I am holding now, Romantic Fools. Really want you to enter any of my contests involving humor or any other subject because it really is a good poem!

Jan Allison

Don't you worry Jan... your muse is probably chugging up on raspberry lemonade, chocolate, coffee, and anything else that sends it hypo, and once filled... your muse will return and humour will flow... can't wait - Lindsay
