Tom's Super Quiz Poet's Contest
Okay folks, here we go: Super Quiz Contest; Part One: First one to accumulate
25 points total for all parts, wins....
1) Make a 6 line poem incorporating the following 6 words, or phrases" (I will
provide one bonus word to provide you a bit of choice) . Use verse libre', rhyme,
or burlesque, but I'd suggest burlesque, as that form has more value here.- the
words are "waffle", "roller skate", "Latex semi-gloss paint" "bench press" "coal
bin" and "police siren" ; 10 points max value. Humorous poems for above
(burlesque) can accumulate up to 10 bonus points. Remember, the poem
should make some sort of explainable convoluted sense, at least in the crazy
tom way.
2)Part two; Answer correctly the following riddle/quiz; "I sound like a part of you,
and I'd never speak of you a'foul...but sometimes I stretch out- and make others
howl.
One clue will be posted each day, starting on the second day- up to 5 clues max.;
but each day the values decline by 1 point...Contest entries accepted up till
midnite of Sunday night, Oct 14. Winner, if any, will be announced following day,
if prize has not been won already...
May the best man, or woman, win...Based on past results, I'd say watch out for
Shar-she usually wins these, although this one is tougher than most. So best
luck to all. Winner will be granted a custom poem by me based on any one word
you choose- name, thing, etc. I may ask up to 1 1 word clue,if I need, one brief
question of clarification...
The judge's word is final...(yes, mine!!, being married 2 times, that'll be a new
experience...).
And everyone is welcome to comment on other entries, so long as appropriate
respect and clean language is abided to.
Good Luck!!!!
