All right, I’m changing the rules for the contest. Since no one has even tried to write a limerick or a haiku or a 74-page epic poem, I’m just going to give the breakfast away to whoever a. posts first here on Areavoices and b. can come pick the ticket up before Friday at 5 p.m.
Who wants a free breakfast this weekend? Reply to me first and you’ve got it.
I still want a haiku/poem/six-word story for the hat and nickel, though.
English haiku have a line with five syllables, then a line with seven, then another line with five. Here is an example:
No one wants breakfast
A skeptical buffalo
Sadly wonders why.
Sorry this is so lame, and I am not local, but you can donate my prize to a worthy person of your choice:
There was a famous buffalo
Whose look was very skeptical.
On the silver screen
She “made the scene”
Being played by Janeane Garofalo.
