Well Annie, yours is more elegant for sure. My grandmother elegantly milked the cows while I watched her. She could spray the cats from at least ten feet away and never miss a stroke.

Later in life I learned to do that cat-thing with both cow and goats. Thinking about it, the sound of milk-bucket and privy-bucket were very similar.

Not being very familiar with these comps and the judges, is "shit" appropriate or do they look down(no pun intended) on it and prefer "shite."
I would rather use the former than the latter for the alliteration of those 2 last lines.

A usage that's seldom got right
Is when to say shit and when shite
And many a chap
Will end up with crap,
Which is vulgar, evasive and trite.

Use the one you prefer. I never did know the difference.

[Charlie Southerland]

John, more to the point. Have you or Do you know anyone who has won a comp here with shit? And no, I'm not being rhetorical.

[Rob Stuart]

In my time I have won competitions with 'shit', 'balls' and at least one 'fuck' Charlie.

Yes, my mother is proud.
