The Castle Carnival. NOT an Entry!
We’re going to have a CARNIE, which should be a lot of fun
‘coz there’s really doozy options you can choose,
and the host for contest number ten’s granddaughter number one
(if AJ and Gramps can keep her off the booze!)
There’s a cracking T-shirt contest into which Grampa will get
(he’s experienced to judge the female figure)
and there’s hot-dog-sauerkraut eating trials on which to place your bet
while Yem won’t find jumbo hot-dogs any bigger.
Then there’s bobbing floating apples in a barrel full of beer
at which those who are untrained can get quite pissed
and, finally, the ladies get to stick the macho where
there’s considerable frustration if they’ve missed!
You can write about one option, two or three, or even four
and as many entries as you like, the merrier the more!
Hugh R. (Grampa) April 1st. 2007.

Inspiration didn't hit to write for this contest, but so far I have had lots of fun reading the entries. Pin the macho, wet teeshirts, mad hot dogs and weird apples. This carnival is getting better than Carnival in Rio
Fun for the ladies and gentlemen
writers and readers may have again
lots of laugh and reason to go nuts
all that thanks to the Castle's poets
Please, watch Til and Catz, don't let them look to deep into that barrel of apple wine
Loves, Hija Mari

Goodonya Babe
Dear Babe, OHH we certainly are gonna have a Carnie and what a beaut one it'll be.
I've entered one, more of a rant as well for the way Heath came home that night! What a mess he was!
A corker of an entry.
Love Hine.

i think i will be a tad to drunk to write about the carnie,
i intend to bob for apples all day or, until the barel is epmty
when half cut the wet t-shirt comp i will enter, to make grandaddy proud,
i will flash me tits and other bits til the guys all scream aloud
i will try to do my very best to submit a non entry of my own,
but then i will retreat to my pile of straw, in my dingy tower home.

Great choices
Dear Hugh,
It's great to see a contest for a Carnival. HA HA I hope we have some great entries, especially the T shirt contest. Terrific Sonnet Hugh.
Love Bea

The Carnies coming!
YAAY! The Carnies come to Huguenauties Castle!
Let's hope we get HEAPS of entries.
You'll be in your element with the wet T-Shirt one!
Will look forward to reading an entry for it.

You can't count...or there was an invisible contest, undoubtedly won by either the castle ghost or the invisible man. I know, shut up.
Ima is digging through his summer clothing looking for a tight tee shirt that doesn't make him look fat...no, a good comedian knows when to retire a joke...there will be no cross-dressing cucumber in this contest.
The hot dogs, it's all about the hot dogs...I hope you guys don't mind reading lots and lots of poems about them.

Just one thing troubles me
I'm sure you'll all agree
If the King can't count right
It's gonna be a long, long night
'Cuz this is contest number nine
And I'm sure the entries will all shine
But the one not here yet is number ten
So start counting, Hugh, start again
And when you have one finger left
Stop right there, that's it, most def
When in number eleven it's time to compete
You can take off your shoes and count on your feet
I don't know what we'll do when twenty-one comes along
Maybe Queen Edna will help, she seems pretty strong
You can start over on her fingers, all ten
Or we'll be back to number one with you again
Sorry, kingypoo, just had to bring that to your attention in spite of your otherwise perfect poem

Dearest Dee (Hahahaha - choke!)
Now who’s a silly Huguenaut?
We hoped somebody would get caught
and it is rather interesting
that Dee got hooked by Kingy’s testing.
Of all Hugh’s jokes, this is the worst
as it was done for APRIL FIRST
and those who read Group Rolls of Honour
should realise it was a goner.
The King is in his Counting house,
laughing so hard he's dropped his mouse.
Although there’s hardly any money,
most will admit it's rather funny.
.....and just to bring things back in line,
the present Contest’s number NINE!!
PS:
Don’t fall for everything you see -
like Kevin selling off AP!!

Oh, I'm up on Kevin's April Fools jokes, so knew it was a joke when I saw it on the front page, and have gotten SOOOO many inquiries about it...
As for you, my dear King, I thought perhaps, after I had crafted and laboured AND RHYMED, so long over that poem for you, I remembered the day, but wasn't about to remove it after so much work went into it... and in the back of my mind I still remembered you refering to #7 as #8... so there... I wasn't taking any chances. Besides, I was silently snickering over our King Hugh trying to remember how to count, even on his toes.

Dear Dee,
Well, even though you only gave me ONE applaud, I gave your comment FIVE stars to show I love you (although your meter was a bit slack but rhyming is excellent.) -
-
I KNEW the meter was off when I wrote that, Hugh... it was deliberate, I didn't want to outshine the king, you know Sorry about the applauds, though... I really did mean to give you more and thought I did... oh well, next time

Carnivals are great, and this one sounds fabulous. You are very quick off the mark with this exravagant sonnetto assoluto. Well done, your majesty!
