Announcing the first annual Weasley-Kirke Really Bad Poetry Competition! In a week Andrew and I will put our work up in our journals and you get to decide who is only the second worst poet of the two of us.

If you are interested in judging this special event, drop a line.

What's in it for me, if I did?

[gin_up]

It's not a very lucrative postion, I'm afraid. On the plus side you not only get to rubbish two very annoying Gryffindors' poetry, but are expected to rubbish two very annoying Gryffindors' poetry.

So are you in or out?

[kirkeoff]

There's no need to judge! Mine will be better. I don't want to be judged.

[gin_up]

I however am convinced mine will be better. All the more reason for some judges then.

[kirkeoff]

No!

Mei likes my poetry. That's all that matters.

[gin_up]

In that case you shouldn't be afraid of being critiqued. Are you afraid, ickle Drewsie?

[onetoughpuff]

Don't you have anything better to do?

[gin_up]

Apparently you have nothing better to do than write in my journal yourself. Yes, but this is just for a laugh. We could do with some more of that around here.

[onetoughpuff]

A laugh, indeed. Those whose poetry is laughable should simply not write it.

[gin_up]

No one is forcing you to read it, Smith.

[fauxblooded]

I HATE poetry.

[gin_up]

Don't read it then.

[fauxblooded]

I HAVE TO so I can find the GOOD STUFF.

[gin_up]

And also poetry books tend not to have pictures in them.

You know I'm already game!
