First off this is my way of a gift to a very dear friend of mine,
and so many more here on AP, markgrif.
He deserves something amazing, intelligent, compassionate,
and without likeness to CRAP!!!
If you do not know this poet, I prefer you not enter..
Its my contest, my gift - DEAL!
What I want from you/what will be happily accepted:
- Acrostics; BUT must be unique and fitting for our birthday boy!!!
- Sonnets; something elegant and extraordinary!!!
- Rictameters; have fun with this!!!
- Abstract Delights; if you know him, then well you know why!!!
... and of course the traditional Happy Birthday poem is fine!
There are no real rules,
just use your common sense.
***IF YOU DARE INSULT THIS POET,
or anyone in my contest - you shall feel my wrath!!!
That means automatic DQ and thensome!!!
***
Now, tomorrow is the special day - let's get to celebrating early shall we?
Mark, I wish you all the very best -
ALWAYS!!!
+++Points are likely to increase!
