An old suggestion, but it's never too late to give it a whirl. I wonder, though, just how it would be judged. Some guide lines would help, too, in deciding what to try to do. The group poems have worked nicely, and people do seem to be enjoying the clerihews. Any suggestions on a direction to take this pawky idea?
