Well, this is tricky. I found myself wishing I could give everyone a point in challenges 1 and 3, Julie having already won no. 2, but that would turn it into a caucus race.

So for Challenge 1:

Rogerxxxx- .5
Juliexxxxx- .25
Catherinex- .25

Challenge 3 is even harder. They’re all good!

I admired Mary’s version for preserving the original rhyme scheme, even though it meant losing the wolf.

There were a number of felicitous phrases: ‘wolf you down’ from Kyle and Catherine, ‘mutton chops’ for ‘moustaches’ also from Catherine, ‘stuff you like a goose’ from Kyle and Susan.

I particularly liked Roger’s fully and ingeniously rhymed version, and its snappily sardonic ending.

So for Challenge 3:

Rogerxx- .5
Kylexxx- .25
Susanxx- .25
