RE: WINNER in 2nd annual pumpkin poetry contest

Our next lesson on how to win friends and influence people...

...probably won't come from this list.

Congrats to the winners and my appreciation to the judges for their hard
work.  And hats off to you, David, for being so remarkably humble.

Lets keep in mind that poetry is one of those subjective art forms.  What
one person likes, others may think is...well, Luc explained that already.

List,

With all respect, but in my opinion the winning poems are shit. I did saw
here a lot of better poems.
I believe that the jury or great pumpkinfreaks, but from poetry they do'nt
know a thing.

Blow up this thing.

Greetings,
