Old Backside has had his morgenmad and done his early morning chores, this bright humid morning. So there’s time to look at this month’s pomes, three in number from our all-male contestants. Who said men can’t multi-task?
The summertime offerings were all good fun – thank you, all (FEEG, papaguinea and the royalist) – and I had to choose between PG and JW for sticking to the letter of the brief: a pome set to music of your choice. (Apologies, FEEG, if you akshully had a toon in mind!)
And the winner is – with some striking imagery and extra points for almost making the words fit the toon (!) – theroyalist! Congratulations! And over to you for September.

Who wouldn’t smile when Debbie laddered her tights on the stalagmites and Jack got a cave dust infection? Excellent stuff!

Well done, TR.
Silly me, I forgot to mention my pome could (nearly) be sung to Colenel Bogey!
Sounds even better to COLONEL Bogey! 😦
Gore J-man,
The tactics of praising the 400 club paid off. On the eve of judgment it’s a good idea to get on the right side of the adjudicator. Commiserations to FEEG and PG.
Thanks Janus. This was a great theme and I’m surprised there wasn’t more entries.
JW, I’m sure your next theme will have ’em flocking in! Even Arrers might take a rest from her wedding arrangements. Bilbers might pop out of her home in the outback too.
Congratulations JW – perhaps if we’d been asked to write a tune I might have had a better chance! But I always enjoy reading the challenges whether I submit entries or not! Thankyou Janus for administering the verdicts.
