I imagine members of the Company aren't allowed to enter, so I've prepared a few little verses to help advertise this contest! Please note that I really suck at poetry, so if I can write some, so can you!!

These limericks prod gentle fun at a few members of our staff... I'm sorry that not all of your favorite members of the company are featured here! I wrote wherever the muse struck me. I've also severely butched proper limerick structure at some point, so serious poets, please don't hurt me.

Without further ado, I present to you:

The Company in Limericks


Occ Senseiii of the Company’s squad
Has ideas both unique and odd
He yelled “let us write poems,
And then party in foam!”
Wearing only his Towel of God.



Grumpysaurus Rex leads us all
Through thick and thin, through calm and squall
But when anons’ grins’ unfurl
And ask if Grumpy’s a girl
We tell them we can’t quite recall.



A fearless soul is our n0c0ntr0l,
womanizing his way to his goals.
But his ego’s a beast
That’s never decreased
We fear it’ll swallow him whole.



FuBuLy, queen of grammar, presides
Her projects, her joy and her pride
But Kubera may misbehave
And her sanity may cave
While the rest of us run off to hide.



The Godfather, our local mafia
Invaluable in our work with Korea
Once made us all crave
Tacos! We ranted and raved,
And baked him in a Muffin tortilla.



Trebor, another of our good friends
Many classes for law he attends
He’s serious about grammar
Mistakes cause a great clamor
So we hid his collection of pens.



Cute Haruki, our youngest translator
And our favorite math-hater
When she rages it’s scary
Trebor, be wary
Her punches just might cause a crater.

And there you have it! My butchered attempts at poetry! Hahahaha, enjoy, and good luck to the contestants!

[Cloudspawn]

I'll join =]. Though, what would happen if we register but end up not submitting anything?

[Cala]

Yay, Cloud!

I imagine if you end up not submitting anything, you will simply not win! Haha. Can't hurt to sign up!

[Tammy]

I'll register, but I might forget about the contest in all and might not end up submitting anything x_x

[mitunya]

Count me in. Why not...

[powha]
