My Entry

I'm sure you'll agree that it's going to be hard
For me to judge this contest, being such a bard.
I thought it might more pour balm in the wound
If I entered the contest and entered it soon.

Cause frankly I've designed this contest thread
So I don't have to work myself to death:
Writing even bad poems takes time, you'll concede,
So hopefully there won't be a zillion entries to read!

But that being said, I do think there should be
Oh just a few more entries for me to see.
So here's one from me, with holiday wishes
To see The Thin Man some day swim with the fishes.

The easiest gift to give of all
Is the one that is beautiful, blond, and tall.
Only if your mind is beginning to falter
Could you doubt that John should be with Ann Coulter.

Next easiest is the first George W. doll
For whom all this thread we've heard dansangel ball.
I think that her grovelling should count for a lot.
And so it's the flight-suited guy that she's caught.

(Mind you this is not my judge's thread.
This is just my entry instead.
Although this thread does reveal my current thinking,
Who knows what I'll think when I seriously start drinking?)

Hmmm, I now don't know who really wants Rumsfield
Help me out here, before the contest is sealed.
Would Mama_bear, Aqua, or Dutchess want him?
Give me a clue please, someone fill me in.

The RNC Calendar seems like a loser
But in fact, despite the fact I'm a boozer
I can clearly say -- to the extent that I'm able --
That's its a special gift not commercially available.

I could be wrong but if I had to guess.
I think Mama_bear would like George W. best.
I must go back and check my prior Rumsfield thread
To see if Aqua or Dutchess tried to win him instead.

Maybe no one wants the 2004 quilt engagement calendar.
The only thing rhyming with THAT is "salamander."
And that's OK with me because I could keep it too.
Although frankly Maggie's due for a gift or two.

Well this is my current thinking, and you can see that it's muddled.
It must be the sherry, all pooled in a big puddle
In this huge glass from which I claim to be drinking
But truth is even I don't know what I'm thinking.

So help me out and let me know what your call.
Just who should get that Rumsfield doll.
Who needs and wants a calendar best?
Tell me before 8 and maybe a gift you'll wrest.

Very amusing poem, it's looking more and more like the Rummy doll is coming my way. :)
