Responding, as all "rescue" gators do, to the forlorn cry of, "Brain
overboard!" Alphonse immediately launched an "Expanding square" search
for; what else, poor ole Mark's brain! Guess what!!! We have it thanks
to Alphonse's never ending desire for fresh meat. So Mark, send us your
shipping address and this, er..yuk..sopping mess is yours. Please
excuse the holes as Alphonse had to hold it tight during heavy seas.
I detect a slow warming trend in the poetic environment. To wit:
We have the following Ships admitting they have some right brain
leanings and thus will attempt "Verbicide" for New Years Eve.
SSShip 1, "Billy Bones" of Virginia Beach , VA With the notorious
Skipper known only as "Barnacle Bill" and his crew of "Salty Lynhaven
oysters".
SSShip 1, "Sea Fox" of Slidell, LA with literary coach Alphonse de
Alligator. (De crew is monetarily confined to our snake infested brig
till Alphonse gets a volunteer)
SSShip 101, "Viking", I wonder if the ladies are all called Valkyries (I
wonder if there like the cross between the tiger and the canary? You
don't know what they are but you sure listen when they sing.) and
Roger's real name is Odin WOW deep stuff!! NO! Roger, you can't have a
submission from last year to cheat with...besides there aren't
any...just chicken feathers!
SSShip 502, "Invincible", from Houston, TX...Invincible, shall we all
quit now??? I understand "Sweet Cynthia" will be prodding de poets deep
in the heart of Texas. (Roger..this also takes care of the "binary
numbers" fright)
Methinks we have also peaked the interest Mr. Ritter, but as a lowly
committee member can he rally SSS 90 "North Star" to literary
excellence?? Only the Shadow knows! he he he
Also showing signs of life: Ship 1942 from Arlington, VA with Davis
Jones and brother Davy, and from the land of the hula skirt, "Keep your
eyes on the hands" Shuster leading the SSS (no number)Sea Urchin.
BUT...alas, no word from across the Irish Sea where singing Leprechauns
do wax poetically upon the Blarney Stone....or could it be mates, that
all their Shamrocks have wilted????? And what about down under...did
them nasty salt water crocs eat all the right brain joeys???? he he
he....
Judges:
Madam Wickward from SSS 88. (Mystery judge of whom nothing is known, but
could be a descendant of the evil queen in Snow White, .....interesting)
His Honor, The Immediate Past National Commodore, James Umberger. He
is also being asked by copy hereof to act as collector of all UNcyber
entries. I still can't figure how the UNcyber units found out about
this but that's great!
Cassie Johnson from SSS 502 will use her English Department to rate the
poems since she admits to being slightly biased.
Prizes:
"Odin" Crossland from SSS 101 has a handle on the prizes for the winning
crew. I will provide an additional incentive once I get it away from
Alphonse....NO! its not Mark's brain.
OK that's it, I think I see light through the chicken feathers!!!
YISS...
