Theme

The goal of this contest is to write a HUMO(U)ROUS poem. There are no restrictions or guidelines on the poem style or length, it simply must be FUNNY! It can be HAHA funny, LOL funny, ROFL funny, sarcastic, cynical, ironic, or satirical. The bottom line is HUMO(U)R, got it?

Deadline

All submissions must be received by 10:00 pm EST on June 22, 2008. Any poems received after this time will not be considered.

Judges



Assuming we receive a significant number of submissions, the judging panel will narrow down the list of submissions to the Top 10, after which these 10 poems will be posted for all PoetryPlease members to vote on. The Top 3 poems will then be revealed; we anticipate the winners will be announced in early July.
