I just got an email that I'm a runner up. They're going to send me a Paris Review tee shirt!
I posted a few couplets and I don't know which got me the tee. I'm pretty sure it was one I posted under the name Kay Nine, but I don't know which.
Thanks, Gail, for the heads up.
I'm happy I didn't win the tickets, since I think I saw that play years ago and it was horrible.

Good lord, it's a good thing Gail waited until the last minute. My computer would have exploded if Whitworth's Warriors had had more than one day.
Good going from all of you. Congrats Roger.

Whitworth's Warriers? I like it, though we're actually quite a peaceful bunch.
Many of the warriers posted better stuff than what won, but I won't refuse the tee in protest. I just hope I receive it before they hire a new editor who wishes to leave his own editorial imprint on the contest and therefore rescinds the results and denies me my prize.

Way to go, Roger! Whitworth's Warriors are proud. Semper I(ambic)!

The Newton's balls couplet is genius. And the Einstein couplets are also relatively brilliant. Well done Kay Nine and her whole entourage of alter egos.

Stoppard's Arcadia? Don't listen to him, Spherians. He's an inventive and hilarious poet, but no drama critic.

I'm a forgetful drama critic, perhaps, since I now remember it wasn't Arcadia that I saw and hated, but The Invention of Love, which featured Housman traveling on the River Styx to the sound of widespread snoring supplied by enthusiastic audience participation. Maybe Arcadia would have given me a wonderful evening, but I can probably get many years use out of the tee shirt.
