Listen kids, to the story of Paul Revere:
One if by land and two if by sea;
As he rode up to Lexington town you could hear:
The British are coming! The rest's history.

Deadline minus six hours and she still can't stop.

I died and met a kindred soul,
like me, profound and arty.
We chatted from adjoining tombs:
a ghostly slumber party.

I think I've got a problem.


My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Her hairs are wires, her voice a raven's call;
Heavy tread, bad breath and breasts of dun,
And yet I'm nuts about her, warts and all.

I think I might miss this one. Perhaps it should be included in some kind of a future bakeoff.

There's a breathless hush in the Close tonight;
The Gatling's jammed, and the Colonel's dead.
"We'll need to come up with some other cheat;
What about Bodyline Bowling?" he said.

Marion,

"Deadline minus six hours"? I thought the closing date was May 14th?

And look at the name of the thread.

If you blew the deadline, I'd say just hurry up and send it in now even though you might be late by a couple of hours. I doubt she's that strict. In fact, I seem to recall that I once missed the deadline by a few hours and got an honorable mention, so she clearly didn't just discard my entry.

Ooops! Sorry, Marion, I thought I was still looking at Tailgaters. My eyes must have swivelled in my head.

Yeah, Roger, but you might have won if it had been on time.
