Now Philip, you are just being difficult. Enter it under the name Eileen Dover and YOU give the winnings to charity. Just don't forget to put your own name and address to the entry or they won't know where to send the cheque.
Michael. That is so good you have to try it.
Here is mine. It is brief, if nothing else. I shall enter it, if only because I ALWAYS enter if I have finished something. I have won with something I didn't much like and failed (as in this month's Oldie) with what i consider a masterpiece. Such is bleeding life.
Strad Jeremiad
My dad had
an uncle Vlad
from Petrograd
who gave the lad
a Strad (egad!)
and forthwith bade
him play – my dad,
was very glad.
But big bad Brad,
an utter cad,
purloined that Strad
from daddy’s pad,
which made him mad,
more than a tad,
and, we might add,
a little sad.
