Welcome to the NINTH Western Canada Regional Forum Trivia Contest!!! We have a WINNER!!!

lol. Good one Indigo, but one good turn deserves another.....

Well, now dont I feel the fool,
my e-mail didn't get through.
I know I wrote it and sent it also
but where in cyberspace did it go?

I apologize, I guess your sight is good.
I checked my messages sent and it was not there
so my embarrasment I hide under this hood.
My answer was right, it's just not fair.
It was not a case of my answer being misunderstood,
but of my e-mailing skills being no damn good.

This exchange of verse I will miss.
Good luck to those who still remain
and must surely think that Im insane.
Next time I will not leave the e-mailing to my imaginary friend Chris

 

Imaginary friends are good to keep,
especially because they let you sleep!
But if you decide to count on one,
You will find it's not much fun!

 

ha, excellent. I almost can't wait to get eliminated again when the next one starts up.
