The North Pacific Poetry Triathlon

[OPArsenal]

Yes, that's right. A proper contest! Calling all poets... If you intend to participate, please post below.

How this here thing will work: There will be three legs to the tournament (hence the name), all weighted equally. The three stages are:

• Number A: Rhyming Poetry
• Number B: Free Verse
• Number C: Doggerel

To clarify what constitutes doggerel: According to dictionary.com:

1. (of verse) a. comic or burlesque, and usually loose or irregular in measure. 
b. rude; crude; poor.

So come one, come all, no matter what region you hail from!

Cookies are wonderful
Cookies enlighten your day!
for a short while anyway...
They rot your teeth,
but what else who you want to eat?
They warm your heart,
then make you fart.
Cookies are wonderful,
simiply because they make you fat 'n' full!
So enjoy your cookie!
Or else I'll kill ye!
