*I hope you understand this contest. What I want is for people to write poems, but these poems cannot have any words in that mean anything. In other words they must not make any sense. Here is a short example of what I mean;
Outsinger patinger, chinger,
Clootsy, mootsy, proo,
Chaninger shatsy abroo.
Well that's just a short example, but your job is to come up with something totally ingenious and something that will have people falling off their chair in hysterics.
Now for the rules:
1 I have decided to change this rule slightly to allow a couple of sensical words, but only if absolutely necessary or you put them in by mistake as I have now realised it is very difficult to write a totally nonesensical poem and more often than not people will put a sensical word in without realising. So to be fair I am allowing a couple of sensical words.
2 You must read and comment on other entries and put in your authors box which ones you read.
3 I also want you to read and comment on at least 1 of my poems. I always do this for contests as I feel it is only common courtesy. You must also put which one you have read in your authors box.
4 I will allow prewrites although I seriously doubt you would have one that meets this contests requirements. However I never know.
5 Please and this is a must I don't want people writing to me telling me that this contest challenges poetry. I am putting this because I had one lady when I ran a contest before writing to me telling me that I should not have made a contest such as the one I was running at the time because people should write serious poetry. It's up to me what type of contest I want to run and besides I think this will be fun.
So without going on further have fun!!!
This contest is for 307 points winner plus gold trophy
100 points second place plus silver trophy
50 points third place plus bronze trophy
Possible honorable mentions.
Also nearly forgot no need to spell check this as the spell check should not recognise any of your words.*

LOL. Sounds like much fun. Should get some interesting entries. Love the background, too, btw.

hmm... I guess then I can even type with my elbows for this one
but I have a little question (since you allowed prewrites): I have made some time ago a poem that consists completely out of homonyms... so the words in there make sense in some kind of way, but the sentences don't 
can I enter something like that too?
