So the judge(s) like the funny ones

Thanks Zondrae.

Marty

I was thinking the same Marty.....

Well I reckon I've got a good chance cause I'm very funny


Bobbo

I thought I had replied to this.. oh well, here I go again,

G'day Bob and Heather,

The country music mob asked to have that put in the rules.. note it says 'may be' not 'will'.
The main reason was that if there are six winners all with really serious themes, they will bring the mood down, if read at the poets breakfast at the Festival. But the judges decision is final and be it funny or not, the country music mob can't override the judges (a panel of three) choice.

So just send in three of your best and you can't go wrong.

at last,

I have just checked - and the details of the comp are in the events section but for entry form is looks like people need to contact me or the competition secretary. So please don't leave it til the last minute.. If you can't down load here, email me and I'll send it to you direct. (It is better if you can use this one as the other way you lose the fancy heading).
Starting to panic that entry numbers will be down because of difficulty in getting details and form...

Hi Zondrae,

I downloaded an entry form from somewhere awhile ago and it came out scattered out over three pages.

Mind you I have to write something first, I've been a bit slack of late.

Terry

Funny get the pun funny you should say that Marty, At the finish of my shows I say just that. "

It does not matter if you are laughing at my poems or just laughing at me the main thing is that your are laughing" !


Bobbo The Clown

Well Bob if you take Heater along with you and introduce her as a hot chick that might get a giggle.

Zondrae you naughty lady spelling the purple ones name like that. Faux pas?
