I love to see well-known writers parodied, self-important people reduced to a laughing stock, sacred beliefs derided, sacred cows mocked. So go ahead and do it. So far, the points are relatively few, but if the entries are good, they will be doubled or trebled. PROSE or VERSE is fine. Be as long or as brief as you wish. But for Christ's sake be grammatical.
Authors you might want to parody viciously:-
-Irvine Welsh
-Anthony Burgess
-Shakespeare (or indeed any Jacobean dramatist)
-Chaucer
-Henry Miller
-Enid Blighton
-Capt WE Johns
-Horror writers
-Crap "airport" novelists
-Someone else
-Possible subjects which you might want to aim your sights at:
-Evangelical Christianity
-Israeli hypocrisy and military aggression
-Heroism
-Political Correctness
-Euphemistic use of language (eg "Passed over" instead of "died")
-Patriotism
-9/11
-TV
-Erotic literature
-Something else which certain people hold dear
Indeed anything which might annoy and offend someone stupid.
Many thanks to SUSEANN for a kind donation of points which means there's now more prezzies!

- Rewards: Gold: 320, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: How lovely that most people haven't the faintest idea what parody or mockery mean!!! That's a fascinating thought. The four winners at least did so, and the gold one is rather good.

May I please reserve?
If not I will still enter anyways...so there! -

No need to "reserve"
Your entry will always be welcome as the lady bishop said to the rapist. Warn me if you can't meet the deadline and I'll extend.

a wonderful piece of poetry which travels into new dimensions and finds the light of love and strength.

Edna you're just so...dam mean! Ha! And I'm going to love reading each entry! You take the cake kiddo.lol~Suseann

I'm well over due for some utterly vicious shit. What to do, what to do?
-
I will give this some thought...

Sorry
Sorry. I really don't have the time right now.
I did have an idea that you might have liked, though. It's called Schlammscharf Valley (Mud Lust Valley). It's loosely based on a true story.
The relationship of two coupled, misogynistic, garlic-eating, Romanian lesbians is destroyed when they discover that they have each been sleeping with the same modestly endowed black man. Tasteless vampire jokes included at no charge.
Sorry again. Maybe another time. -
Edna
The poem I have on here now is not my original entry. I am a moron and thought I may enter again, but alas, my main entry was removed when I entered another. -
why Pentecost, Edna?

Bookmarked!

Oh, I had hoped to enter a write re Political Correct policies here within the UK but won't offend with my crime-rhyme re the loony left that say we can't teach Baa Baa Black Sheep or the crazy Councils that are bonkers for banning our children from playing Conkers! Enough of my inane rambling but I hope someone lampoons the twee and the PC far better than me.

I only spotted this contest 11 hrs before it closed and it was 1am UK time and I was knacked!
Bitter?
You bet. -

I re-opened it for you.
