DU Wacky Races: Version de Muggle      
     
     
Morning folks, it's a marvelous day for it here at the DU arena. The roof is open and the sun is shining in on us in the commentary      
box. First up we have the three-legged race. They are lining up now waiting on the pistol. Who do you fancy for the win, Mugglette?    
     
--Well, Muggle 1, I'm torn between Grace + Summit, or Musical M&M and Milkyway. The M&Ms have quite the explosive chemistry,      
fine asset for a race like this; but the GPS team has a more steady flow and a more honed sense of direction. I'm excited to see      
who comes out 'on top'. There are rumors that Musical might have a jolt at the pistol due to experience with drive-by-shootings.      
Some even say he'll run the other way. I just don't know Muggle 1. What do you think?    
     
Well, Mugglette, not being from the ghetto myself, I wouldn't know what a drive by sounds like. I think that DD and Harper might      
do well. What, with DD's two legs and Harp's one they should do ok.    
     
*BANG*    
     
And they're off. Haha! You were nearly right, Mugglette. Looks like he chose the drop 'n' roll maneuver that 2Pac didn't quite master.    
Wait, wait -- he has caused a domino effect and knocked all the entrants over! What's he doing to Milkyway?    
     
--Not sure Muggle 1, it was so fast I just can't tell what he did! Grace and Summit are leading -- and... there seems to be a large      
number of humming birds hovering over Grace urging her on. And the blinding light shining from Summit's arse is affecting the      
people behind them!    
     
Is that even legal, Mugglette?    
     
--I doubt it, Muggle 1, we'll have to check the rules on object interference. Here come the M&Ms! Looks like they    
may be about to take the lead!  Wait...what! They have stopped dead, what is Milkyway doing? It looks like... is she... ooooh    
     
That's right, Mugglette, she has just dropped another baby, water off a ducks back at this stage. Kinda like throwing    
water over a gremlin, only substitute water for jizz and a gremlin for milkyway.      
     
--Well, I didn't see that one coming Muggle 1. I never even saw M&M mounting her. Oh! that's what he was doing when he    
fell on her at the start line. Oooh I think thats the race over for those two now.[/i]    
     
     
Yeah, I reckon you're on the button there Mugglette. It's off down the welfare first and then to the Jerry Springer    
show for DNA results. Never a dull moment is there Mugglette?    
     
--No Muggle 1, always seems to be something afoot. Looks like Diddi and Harper are going to take it. Hold on, Diddi is trying to get down on one knee. Well, that looks a tad awkward.    
     
Not much of a ring is it, Mugglette?    
     
--As far as rings go, I would say it's more of a Groupon special offer than a rock, but I hear he buys them in bulk. We have a streaker on the track! Can we see who that is?    
     
Well Mugglette, she is not the usual happy go lucky streaker we tend to get and that looks like a butchers knife she is    
wielding. She seems to be shouting obscenities at Harper and Diddi. I think, yes it is one of Diddi's exes, and she is not a happy camper.      
     
Whoa! that was a close one! She has cut the bonds tying Harper and Diddi and now Diddi is running for his life around the track! I guess the race is over for them two as well, Mugglette.    
     
--I think you are right there, Muggle 1. Now, if only Grace and Summit can get through all the fluffy bunny rabbits    
and squirrels hoping around them they will have won      
the race. There you go! A well deserved win for the two of them. What's that written on their t-shirts Muggle 1?    
   
Eh, i can just make them out. One says Dali and the other says llama. How apt.    
   
--Apt indeed. Muggle 1. So it's Grace and Summit for the medal then, and here's Kou_Indigo to present them with it.    
Ah, he has a speech written down. Wake me in six days so I can hear the finish.    
     
Will do Mugglette -- will do.      
     
Well, good people, that concludes the three-legged race. Next up is the 1000 meter relay.    
     
Stay tuned.

More factoids    
     
   
Charles Dickens    
     
A number of pets graced the Dickens household over the years, including all manner of dogs, cats and ponies. But Charles' favorite pets were his two ravens, both known as Grip.    
     
Dickens was particularly devoted to Grip I, going so far as to write the bird into his 1841 mystery novel, Barnaby Rudge. This same talkative bird reportedly was the inspiration for Edgar Allan Poe's famous poem, "The Raven," published four years later.    
     
Upon Grip I's demise, Dickens had his beloved bird stuffed. These days, Grip can be seen at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Books Department, where he stands guard over the Poe and Dickens collections.

Q -- Since you wrote that damn erotic poem I can't get my girlfriend to stop straightening her hair!.      
Armpits, head, legs, groin all of it! She looks absolutely ridiculous. My wife won't even let her be seen with us in public anymore.      
Your poem has ruined polygamy for me.      
What must I do?      
     
A.Nide from Michigan.      
     
A-- M
r A.Nide, I will have to take this issue in three parts.    
     
1. You should know never to let wife and girlfriend meet, It always ends with someone dying. Think of it as a kind of quantum physics thing where you cant let your past self and your future self meet, and then multiply the effects x100.      
     
2. Women love the straightening of the hair. It's sensual and a joy for a man to watch.    
You should try taking the straightener and straighten your girlfriends hair along with her.    
     
     
3. And I say this with absolutely no respect for your girlfriend whatsoever:    
     
tell her to go out and buy a fucking razor already and sort her damn legs and  armpits and that big 70's growler    
she has going on between her legs. Jeeesh.

This issue our poem box writer has been unable to submit because of other pressing matters.    
So i trawled the net to find some helpfull hints for y'all and found this site.

I liked the sound of the tanka so had a look for a good example and easy to follow explanation;    
     
A tanka  is a classic form of Japanese poetry. A tanka has five lines with a traditional pattern of 5, 7, 5, 7, 7 syllables.    
     
In addition to being a popular form of love poem for centuries, the tanka form has also been the vehicle for expressing interconnectedness with nature.      
     
Here is a tanka that tries to combine the traditional tanka love and nature themes:    
     
sequoias in bloom    
yellow flowers high above    
walking hand in hand    
one branch fallen on our path    
together now, we look up
