Hey guys,

Don't you think it's about time for another light-hearted competition? We've done art, how about something out of the ordinary?:

Someone who's inspired us, maybe?
A self-description?
Our biggest problem?
Somewhere we've been?
A piece of satire?

I don't know. Just some suggestions. If you're interested, post some ideas for a subject and we'll see about getting it organised.

Cheers

alex

I'm up for a competition but I think the subject ought to be fairly specific. Not the life-cycle of the Patagonian armadillo necessarily but something like "A mathematician", "A night out", "Christmas shopping", something like that.

Indeed,

It may just be what I need to beat the block, or not as the case may be.

Although my first choice, the life-cycle of the Patagonian Armadillo has been ruled out, mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Great idea Alex.

How about music / song / musician? I liked the recent poem on the forum about Robert Johnson and thought we could all have a bash.

Or something completely different.

Or the best limerick about the Patagonian Armadillo.

There was a Patagonian armadillo,
Who found a mate under a willow.
A boy came one night,
Set the willow alight,
And now the armadillo's a widow.

How's that?

Patagonian Armadillos are nice.
Like solar panels attached to big mice.
Resembling disco balls,
they terrify all
like the hats of Helen Steiner Rice.

There once was an armadillo
who fled from her home in Brazil. Oh,
with foraging mouth
she migrated South,
with naught but her trusty http://www.travillo.com/.

The road became harder and stonier,
as she crossed into cold Patagonia:
one look at it all,
she curled into a ball
and asphyxiated on ammonia.

There once was a Patagonian armadillo
Whose eyesight wasn't that brillo,
It attempted to shag
A leather handbag
But didn't get much of a thrillo.
