Working the system

Contest Entry

is most certainly 'da bomb'
and by lacking self-respect
and a certain introspect
I'm just sorrier than hell
to be dredging in a well
for this blatant sucking-up,
but I need a coffee cup.

It's a mug. Now that I have set that straight, it's good to see someone blatantly going right after a prize instead of writing a silly poem trying to get one.

Following Ed's sage advice, I think I will paint an "S" in front of my AD, to illustrate how far we have to go to advertise who and what we are. Without drawing in new blood through catchy contests, our membership will end up just being old codgers like us--sad.

I hate contests and don't like to enter. But in this case, I'm already trying to think up something perverse for the big Thanksgiving showdown and dredging up an old story for Christmas that most of the current readers haven't seen. Isn't Christmas a time for re-giving something old to someone new?

Let's just say that I really appreciate your humor and hope that this one will grab you one of those mugs as the merry goes round!

Now just a minute there, sir. My daughter suggested a put an "M" in front of mine with "AD" on it. I did and now it gets third prize behind the one with "DAD" and the other with "Grandpa" on them. So there!

As long as you can work the system with such alacrity and charm, why not. DoG knows there are far too many trying to do the same without any talent.
