[John Whitworth]

I don't want to weigh you down with an overplus of competitions over Easter, but this one looks a cinch and the closing date is sufficiently far away.

The Oldie Competition Number 111

A poem called 'Three Legs' please, written in three stanzas. Maximum eighteen lines. Entries to Competition No 110 by 8th May. Post to The Oldie 65 Newman Street London W1T 3EG or email comps@the oldie.co.uk.

Don't forget to include your postal address.

Do any of you (thisis another topic) remember a competition which involved Shakespeare's Dark Lady replying to him in sonnet form? As I remember, she was supposed to be pissed off with him, as she well might be. For our American readers pissed off UK = pissed USA. Pissed UK = drunk, as in 'pissed as a newt'.
