Thanks! That one (#21) and my word-shuffling experiment (#14) break Lucy's rules, so they're just for fun.
Nicholas, I think the main thing that influences Lucy is whether it's funny. Personally, I felt I needed to cling desperately to the punchline-setup of the original form. Some others are less inhibited, with very good results.
Something that will no doubt influence Lucy is whether the poem is actually printable. I have a feeling that a lot of the honorable mentions this time won't be.
