Great I am the first to comment, This looks like a great idea for a contest, There are a lot of choices and the rules aren't that hard to follow, although you can guarantee there will be some that don't.........take care and good luck with your contest.........See if I can come up with something later.......

A wonderful idea. Very original at that. ^_^

just entered a poem....but then thought about it some more... it IS cheesy...
let me know if you'd like me to remove it...after reading others, i can see it doesn't really fit in this contest

Hey there,
I'm entered, and then read a fellow poet's entry. I read Bongmaster's "Everyones watching me" I'm not sure if that was a "must do" rule, that either needed to be in author's comments or something... lol... i don't know!! anyway, i read some other entries too-- very nice.. Have fun judging!!

More fun than a barrel full of monkeys- by fa
This is a great contest idea- the first one I've entered, but I thought it was perfect for a first-timer. There are so many things you could do with this topic... makes it really interesting to write for.
