Great
This contest is hilarious, is it the writers that are lazy or is it the reader
only kidding. Great idea for a poem, unfortunetly I am unskilled for story writting, I am really sorry. But I hope you get a wonderful amount of lovely SHORT stories. Great idea, and good luck with it blondeoverblue, I hope it is enjoyable!

Hi. This is a great challenge and I might just try it. I'll see what I can come up with.
-

-
If only it wasnt the weekend. You know how my head works of a weekend. Haha.
CUCKOO -
there was once a young girl who sat on her tuffet
the poor girl had really bad taste
(I know cause I heard her listening to Jimmy Buffet!)
she had large eyes, and golden hair
and sometimes she would sit and drink
mass quantities of beer.
so the years passed
and something grew (it was her a*!)
and now she's gone, buried under some lawn
with a headstone and flowers
upon which rain April showers.
pity, poor dear might still be alive
if it wasn't for the beer and Buffet on which she thrived! -
If you want short stories, you should've posted this as a contest for short stories, instead of one for poetry.
-
damn it i wrote a short story and everything for this but it exceeds the limit by 75 words
-
I just can't be bothered lol great contest I actually started to write but I am tired now he he!! well I still have time!
-
Umm . . . I dunno if you were looking for REALLY REALLY lazy, but I did a REALLY lazily-written story. In fact, it was so lazily-done, that I didn't even give it a background.
-
hahahaha. oh shit. i tried. but it ended up being 900. which is only like a page and a bit. lol. but that's way too long. shakes head but good luck.

Im too lazy to make a entry

there was this fish called fred, he banged his head on the side of the tank, it hurt and it knocked him out. he floated to the top of the tank and the humans who looked after him thought he was dead so flushed him down the toilet. the end.
-
Tis a shame that a contest for brevity attracts many more entries than one for quality (like mine lol)
Still, perhaps they think you're an easier touch too? wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah -
You forgot the part where he turns white or falls to pieces like all fairground fish and parents try to replace him with another after flushing.
-
Oi I entered your contest..how much more quality can you handle?

Oooh there is nothing lazy about writing a story in 200 words. It's really difficult. A real art-form. I'll read these with interest but I doubt I could produce anything worthwhile in so short a space. I mean, I struggle to keep my sentences down to 200. Sheesh. Good contest.
-
Hey no probs, I have another contest, all fresh and tasty, just waiting for entrants like your good self to take a bite

Yes, I am lazy...but I've done a story in 100 words...then again, it wasn't all about character development though. Think I'll pass on this one, Kat!
-
That was so so funny! lmao
-
Cool, thanks for giving me 3rd. It's been a while since I won a trophy for anything, so this is encouraging.
-
It wasa pleasure to read and I look forward to reading the next installment !

Hey, I just noticed I won a silver trophy! LOL, I've been out of town the past few days. Thanks for reading my poetry, babe! Loved the contest.
