That's right, folks. Cupid is feeling a little naughty and instead of shooting those arrows at us, he's decided to turn them on you! Uh huh. You heard it. You are being challenged to play the fool.
So here's the deal. Below is a Rafflecopter form. You get a bonus point each for following the blog and following us on twitter, but the big-point-sheebanga is the limerick.
THE WHAT?
The LIMERICK.
Your challenge (should you be so brave except we've heard you're chicken and there's no way you have as many guts as we do collectively so yeah right we'll see if you do it) is to write a limerick professing your love to:
a: jello recipes
or
b: circus clowns
or
c: meerkat colonies
or
d: pickle juice
Nobody said revenge was easy (and if you feel this is tough, no telling what arrow you'll send us on the above form tab for Cupid's Arrows *hint hint* *wink wink*). But you see, we're sweetening it with a super prize!
(for those with no time to watch my silly video and miss my very bad hair, prizes are 3 YA books, candy, and revision supplies)
And to help you out here's Wikipedia's definition of a limerick: The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables.
Good luck, our little candy hearts, may the Rafflecopter gods find you creative! We will announce the winner on next Friday's Cupid Arrow. And, I apologize to my international friends, but this is a US prize drawing.
It's always about the hair, JRo. You could win the bleeping Printz award and all people will say is "Do you remember that video she did at 5 am with her hair all crazy???!!"
ReplyDeleteAnd listen to how cute you are with your sweet NC accent! I didn't get a chance to really hear your voice on your cookie rap.
OK, I should shut up now and let other people leave comments to enter.
Great prizes! I can't wait to see the limericks...could we get extra credit if we compose a sonnet about your hair? ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your accent!! And love this idea :)
ReplyDeleteYou should see what my hair looks like look now - Frightening. On to my masterpiece of a limerick...
ReplyDeleteOther folks may fear a clown
See them and they get a frown
Red noses so big
Those huge fuzzy wigs
Let them turn your frown upside down
Thanks for the fun contest!
No clown fear myself - you rocked the limerick!
DeleteJ.Ro - you make me smile. Thank you for providing a bit of distraction from my revisions! Here is a lame limerick:
ReplyDeleteThe leader of meercats took a chance
And moved his colony to France
The leader declared
After grievances aired
That the can-can was his favorite dance!
Meerkats and can-can - now that was a brilliant twist!
Deleteps - I don't know how to follow, so I subscribed instead.
ReplyDeleteOh the juice of the pickle is best
ReplyDeleteIt's better than all of the rest.
Why drink pear or plum?
Are you really that dumb?
You'll drink pickle if you are my guest.
I won't be visiting. Nope. Will not. *shudders at pickle juice cocktail*
DeleteIf only I could participate...My love for meerkat colonies is legendary.
ReplyDeleteJro, I bow before your brilliance! Love, love, love this idea!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jelly is as tasty
ReplyDeleteas any other pastry
But the ones in France
are always advanced
with colors of pasty!
Ok, that in itself was hard...and it sucks!
Thanks for working my mind with the challenging, yet fun, contest!
The French and their jello!
DeleteMy family loves the town circus;
ReplyDeleteI'm fond of tricks and hocus-pocus.
Silly clowns, though, you see,
Are the best part for me.
Without clowns it just isn't a circus!
And the clown car! Don't forget the clown car!
DeleteUmm..What's a limerick?
ReplyDeleteSorry WinterFaerie, just now seeing this comment. As described above in the Wikipedia definition, a limerick is basically a 5 line poem.
