Duct Tape Poetry

While riding out to Las Vegas for the CES convention, I happened to get an over crowded flight and a seat next to some guy with a laptop. Curious as to what he was doing, a quick glance at the screen showed that he was composing a poem… about duct tape.

Not to rip off his work of art, but the gist was he got a roll of duct tape as a present, and that he enjoyed the sticky hobby of making himself coin purses and wallets by sticking the tape back on itself. You know, the higher kind of literature that society likes to read.

Just to prove that you all are more clever than my airline companion, I’m gonna pay $20 in cash to the person who submits the funniest poem entry about Duct Tape as a reply.

That’s it, no catch. $20 cold cash. For a duct tape poem. Long. Short. Humorous. Naughty. Whatever. …it’s up to you, it just has to feature duct tape.

Obviously the work must be original, I’ll be the final judge of what’s funny or not, submit as many unique entries as you like, and I’ll also post it in my main site’s humor section with credit to the author and an explanation of how it came to be. The lone winner will be announced Jan 24th 2006 unless I’m laughing so hard and wet myself that there’s no point to continue the contest, in that case I’ll throw in a $5 bonus.

And, yes, you may reply to a poem to cast your votes for it, hoping to influence me.
