Announcement: Results of 2007 Unannounced Poetry Contest to be Announced!
Okay, here it is:
Announcement for the Results of the 2007 Unannounced Poetry Contest!
Before announcing the winner of this year's 2007 Unannounced Poetry Contest, I would first like to report a little celebrity gossip that only Xanga users will understand: Prince Foot of Pheedbaak is looking unhealthily slim these days! Is it his skimpy diet of one teaspoon of birdseed per day, his excessive exercise regimen, or just his overactive metabolism? Perhaps one of our readers may enlighten the rest of us!
And now, to the poetry contest:
The people have spoken. By the overwhelming score of 2 to 1 to 0... er, that is 2 billion to 1 billion to 0 billion, I announce to you that "Tex" with his poem Cicadas has been declared the unequivocal winner of the 2007 Unannounced Poetry Contest! Lest you question where these billions of votes came from, one of them came in the form of a comment, and the rest were all e-mailed directly to me. When I have such a clear-cut forest, I mean winner, that kind of landslide really has to be taken into consideration, in spite of how much erosion due to loss of vegetation has occurred, I mean how annoying the winner's voice may happen to be. I'm judging chiefly on the merits of the poem more than the delivery, and weighing the opinions of the readers in the process. June Threbey's Sweet Evil came in second with 1 billion votes. I'm not sure what all those people saw in her poem (in which she strangely seems to characterize pickles as a health food in contrast to cookies and chocolate). Everyone knows dark chocolate is good for you. Guess there's just a lot of people out there who can relate to gluttony. Nonsense, by an un-witty Mr. Ahl, came in third but did manage to garner a respectable 0 billion votes.
*********************************************So, congrats to "Tex" and the Lone-Star State! Once we confirm his identity, it will be quite appropriate to award him some coupons for dinner at a certain steakhouse we all know. Of course, even such a generous gift pales in comparison to all the worldwide fame and millions of dollars in endorsements that are soon to follow!
