Dear Sir Ima, - Yemeian Sonnet III. - NOT an Entry.
I have given your (eighth) contest details full consideration
and studied all the options with most serious concentration
but, as a choice, I have to say that none appeal to me
as a subject to inspire my wit or rousing repartee.
The King can’t stay in bed for breakfasts as he’s forced to rise
to get Queen Edna cups o’ tea and crowns aren’t made from pies.
We do not have an outhouse as each bower has own en suite
and I’ve had my rant about your win, protesting in the street.
Now, if there were an option which included BOOBS, of course
I’d have been in boots and all, just rearing like a hungry horse
and the only bottle I’d consider worth my while to watch
would be either Famous Grouse or Dewar’s White Label premium Scotch.
I should not be cruel to a vegetabule but I must have my last word:
The Queen agrees that options offered verge on the absurd.
Hugh R. March 15th. 2007.
Author notes
Please note the adroit construction of this Sonnetto coppiata (couplet sonnet) which is written in flawless iambic heptameter:
Quatrain 1 sets out the subject (ie: The King's lack of inspiration.)
Quatrain 2 developes some of the reasons for the King's negative reaction.
Quatrain 3 With a brilliantly devised volta, the King offers some more appealing potential options.
Concluding Couplet: sums up the 'argument' with the telling support of Her Majesty (who was not amused.)

They are absurd, but I find most quite amusing. I actually combined two options, sort of. Lovely non-entry, Grandpa!

Dear Hugh,
It is very hard to choose which category to write about, I an in the process of writing one now and it should be posted in the next day or two.
A great rant and a beaut entry in the contest.
Love Jen.

I'm sorry the queen was not amused
and that your Majesty feels abused
but most I'm sorry that your wit
was not inspired, not a bit.
I chuckled throughout the writing
though Yem and I were often fighting
each wanted to out do the other
he almost wrote one about his mother!
You say that crowns aren't made from pies
and I know that you are very wise
but carmen miranda was in my mind
and a woman like her is hard to find!
So I'm sorry for my lack of taste
and that the Queen found my options to be a waste
But I really can't apologize
for each is gold to my eyes.
-
Dear dad, the options aren't that bad, and if we could post more than one entry, I think I'd I could come up with few other things to this contest.
I'm surprised you didn't go for the mascot option. You could have suggested a real playboy bunny with a filled breast case
Yet, your rant is quite funny and I'll try to make sure that Yem's or Ima's next contest be only about booblogy
-

Muy querida hija,
I couldn't use the Mascot option because Heathcote wanted to use that to write about his pig.
I didn't expect you also to choose to write about Plusje (the most beautiful & intelligent rabbit in the universe!) She wou;ld be a great mascot!!
Love and hugs XXX El Padre.
PS: Don't tell me Yem or Ima might win ANOTHER of these contests!?

well now grampa. you just need to be a little creative
you appear almost desperate to write about boobies so why not (just pretend we have one) decorate the out house
do so in true mechanic style (have you ever used the loo at a garage) you know, where pictures of naked boobies line the walls. then you can write about te boobies as much as you would like too!
perhaps you found a pair of breasts in the bottle
that would be weird lol.
or why not write about serving the king breakfast in bed.... you can write it from the kings perspective, all the ladies could be topless
well i am babbling again lol
one too many coffees lol 
loved the write by the way
loves ya long time

Dear Grandawt No. 1.
I did not gain my P h D
by studying boobs in a lavatree
and pictures pasted on loo walls
are not much better than pigs' balls.
If I can't see the dinkum thing,
quite topless, without bra or sling,
but only bottled boobies find,
what else will then inspire my mind?
The writings of great men at best,
were fired by views of female breast.
Did Shakespearer or some other chappie
write: "Show yer tits and I'll die happy"?
Through countless ages, poets revered
the naked knocker, nicely paired.
Loves ya too! XX Grampa King Hugh.

Not bad for a complaining type sonnet, Hugh, and I see that Yem feels honored that he has his own series of sonnets now, thanks to you

I should have remembered the boobs, I have erred.
As far as my subjexts being absurd...why thank you, I'm glad you noticed!
It was a fine Yemeian sonnet, filled with just enough Yemish nonsense and Wyleian ire to make it indeed a worthy sonnet #3.
It was indeed a Shocking Sonnet Of Horror! And I ask everyone to ignore the "not an entry" since this is probably the only entry that will be posted. (I may have to break into Mariza's accounts just to fill out the contest, lol.)
Thanks Sir Hugh, I blush at having my own sonnet collection.

Well, Yem, there's just no pleasin' some people I guess. I thought there were plenty of options and Darlene even made use of just about all of them in her entry. As for the king, let him be a bit humbled, pie or not, it'll enhance his character.
This promises to be a pretty cool contest... even if it is a transvestite cucumber who's hosting it.

A great Yemian Sonnet
Dear Hugh,
I asked Sir Ima for angels and ghost categories and he has granted my wish. As the other categories didn't appeal to me either, so I'm in the process of writing one. A beaut Sonnet and I like the way you have named it Yemein Sonnet lll.
Love Bea
