Judging Made Easy

I'm gonna post a contest
I know no one will win
With a list of many rules 
That will make your noggin spin
And if some how you understand
That list a mile long
I'm sure if I look hard enough
I'll find your spelling wrong

So, Go ahead and write away
And do your very best
This complicated style
Will put you to the test
Yes,  this will be more like work
It sure won't be much fun
But it will all be worth it
If you just make number one

Think about how proud you'll feel
With your name high on that list
But glory's something you won't find
You'll only end up p**sed
But I'll take my time in judging
As it drags out over days
Then right besides your christian name
I'll type a big " N/A" ................HeeeeeeeYahhhhhhh !!!!

I won't even begin to list all the N/A's I have Jerry. It makes me feel top of what should be a new category. Ha, ha, ha. Good one, I love it. Sharon

Ahahahaaaa, this made me laugh so loud! I love contests, but I have such a hard time understanding the rules! I always ask Jan, and sometimes Andrea if I did it right :) And if there's a long list of rules I'm not even trying to enter. Writing itself is much more fun.
