POETRY BUS! THE CHALLENGE IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

So here you go folks. Despite Eejit's panic that we might have forgotten that we were driving this week, (we remembered all along honest),  here we are.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it it thus.

1: PROTEST

2: IN A FOUR LINE POEM

3: WITH A RHYME THAT HAS A RHYTHM SUCH AS THUS;

     dum dum dunm dum dum dee dum
     dum de dum de dum dee dum
     dum de dum de dum dee dee
     dum de dum de dum de dee.

(or something).

My part of the process there-after is to turn (try to turn) alll.. (or as many as possible) of ye're verses in to PROTEST song... (this may or may not happen as quickly as I would hope).

So off ye go, no pressure like :-D

all your poems will remain the property of yerselves, should it become an unbelievable worldly successful hit, ye will all get two euros ;-).

Leave your link in this comment section and I will post them as and when they arrive, and as and when our interweb connection works! CHEERS!

And on a personal side note, please think about donating to The Hope Foundation via our sidebar and take a free download of The Blinding in return. Double Cheers!

    I protest - it will not do!
