I'd have to write a new poem....

 

HAHAHAHA!!!! Brilliant mate! :D

[Phaedrus 209521]

I'd have to write a new poem....

 

Oh, come on, Old Dog. Is that hard

For such a clearly awesome bard?

This really is a situation

To enhance your reputation.

 

I must confess, I find it odd

To hear from our beloved Mod

That there are those that will not vote

And who are just content to note

 

Results from others at their task

But seriously, I have to ask -

Just what kind of Devil's minion

Cannot form their own opinion?

 

Finally, there is good news:

Should you be lacking for a muse

I'm sure the ladies here on CERB

Will help you with your latest blurb.

[Old Dog 179138]

Dear Phaedrus is a kindred bard,

And CERB, his artist's palette,

He seeks solutions, not so hard,

To deal with next month's ballot.

 

The ladies, all deserving praise,

Should never have to run,

Against a phantom in the haze,

We know her now as Nun.

 

So why not let the pollsters see,

As KubrickFan doth note,

The outcome of democracy,

Without the waste of vote.

 

Solutions? We have found just one,

And all of us are grinning,

Remove the option of the "none",

Just let us see who's winning!!!!

[Phaedrus 209521]

I thought I'd had the final word,

That no more poems were pending

It seems my wishes were not heard -

I pray there'll be an ending!

 

And so, once more unto the breach

I drag my weary fingers

While inspiration's in my reach

And an idea still lingers.

 

Another thought occurs to me

I hope my words are heeded;

A solution, plain to see

Which will achieve what's needed.

 

To deal with this spoiler 'None'

And you may think this wise

Perhaps she could be made to run

Against all of us guys?

 

And before I call it a night

One thing cannot be stayed:

It seems to me, clear as daylight -

WE REALLY MUST GET LAID!

 

So, ladies, will you hear our pleas

Before things become worse?

'Cos if we do not get some fun

We'll have to write more verse.

[Old Dog 179138]

Phaedrus my friend, you do rock the stanzas.

[Cato 160314]

Talent abounds on here! Sadly misused lol, but talent nonetheless ;) ;)

[Soleil Sublime 38108]

It's funny. I never cared for poetry in school. But this stuff I love reading!

[Phaedrus 209521]

Heh. We shall have to create a new thread for future outbreaks of silly doggerel.

[Old Dog 179138]

Heh. We shall have to create a new thread for future outbreaks of silly doggerel.

 

They can clear that up with penicillin... but we do digress.

 

I nominate ... THE MOD, international man of mystery, bon vivant, and the Emperor of the CERB star....

[Phaedrus 209521]

It's funny. I never cared for poetry in school. But this stuff I love reading!

 

That's probably because the poetry you read in school was written by people who took themselves way too seriously. I'm sure Old Dog and I have many faults, but we can't be accused of that one!

[Guest W***ledi*Time]

FYI... The none of the above is on the vote because if you do not wish to vote for ANY of the nominees but want to monitor who is winning the poll by voting for none of the above it lets you see the results. Without this we may get BAD votes of people just randomly choosing someone so that they can see the results.

 

Non-voters could just click on the "View Poll Results" link, of course.

 

"None of the above" seems to carry a taint of negativity. If folks don't care enough to vote for anyone in particular, then sure - provide an opt-out. Maybe let them vote "I have no preference", or for "all of the above". To my ear, that might help non-votes to sound a bit more positive.

[mod 135639]

i wasnt seeng what the problem was until now... i never considered that to be negative but i see it now (feeling a little slow) ok.... so i will word it better for the vote.. maybe "all of the above"

[Meg O'Ryan 266444]

.. maybe "all of the above"

 

I think allowing only one choice per voter is adequate :)

[Guest k***na]

[Royalfun 55449]

JessicaMassage and Isabelle Gia

 

For the gents:

 

Old Dog and Toine

i want to nominate shortcake

[NotchJohnson 214123]

I want to take this time to thank all who nominated me for the poll, it is very much appreciated and makes me feel good to be part of this fine community.

 

I have reviewed all the names of those nominated and can't think of any other ladies to add on to the list but will add a gentlemen to the list.

 

I would like to nominate silverado17 he has shown his support and comments on many threads and he well deserve to be on this list.

 

To everyone good luck and don't forget to vote.

[Cato 160314]

I'd like to add Birdboy to the list. He is an outstanding writer, and has contributed some great threads.

[Alexandra-Sky 12606]

Can we add Rachelle Reigns to the list?

[Cato 160314]

Just wanted to second LeeRichards' nomination.

[mod 135639]

I have updated the list... have I missed anyone?

[Cato 160314]

Thanks, mod. I see I'm on the list, but as a previous winner, I shouldn't be.

[mod 135639]

Thanks Cato. I need to dig up my list of previous winners... I forgot to include it this time around.

[billybob 20128]

[Guest **cely***r***ne]
