    Come on People! Where's all the entries?

    ...hang on, if no one else enters I'll win! Never mind!
    "When I was quite young
    and quite small for my size
    I met an old man in the desert of Drize
    And he sang me a song I will never forget.
    At least, well, I haven't forgotten it yet."
    From 'Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are' for Sol.

    Was it okay to enter more than one poem. Because I accidently ended up with two poems in this contest. Do I need to delete one of my poems?
