IT'S A VERY BORING DAY by Jamie P.
Today is a very boring day,
There is nothing good to do,
I went crushing through the toilet door and
landed in the loo,
There's a cobra nesting in my pants,
and a wombat on my head,
There's a walrus flopping here and there,
By god, I think I'm mad!
Today is a just so boring,
I swallowed a stick of glue,
there's a goblin hoard in my backyard and
a pack of werewolves too.
There's a chicken atop a unicorn,
a penguin swinging a sword,
there's a Leprechaun feeling all forlorn,
Oh, I'm so thoroughly bored!
Today's such a boring day,
I slipped and banged my face,
A spaceship crush-landed on the roof
and set the house ablaze,
A meteor came looming into view,
as volcanoes roared away,
Oh well, there's nothing good to do,
it's a very boring day.

Preparing for Your Entry
1. No name means no name! Some of you out there are still putting your names to your poetry entries to my previous contests. Note that from now on I will mark it out without reading it. The reason being that if someone accused me of being unfair, I don't have any proof of not helping someone I know get placed since they can say I know their names.
2. Submit one copy of your poem online. Format your poem. Please make your entry easy to read — no illustrations or fancy fonts.
3. No over-inappropriate contents.
Language Requirement
Poems should be in English. Poems translated from other languages are not eligible, unless you wrote both the original poem and the translation.
