The top three winners will be expected to Pay It Forward with a contest of their own!
All the usual rules apply!
Please check your spelling!
Keep it super clean -- I want to be able to show your creations to kids!
Keep it short -- no more than 10 lines or 50 words!
Get creative, poets -- I want short nonsense gems!
