Twas Brillig

Okey dokey, folks. Flashback Friday is on hold for today, because it’s the first day of the month. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS? It means it’s time for the Perfect Post Awards!

This is the first month that I’m participating in the Perfect Post Awards, brought to you by Suburban Turmoil and MammaK. For more info and other Perfect Post recipients, check out their sites.

And, well, since it’s my first time to award it, I thought it should be different. Challenging, in fact. And what is a challenge that I have not yet mastered? Why, iambic pentameter, of course. And so, without further ado:

Shall I award Kate for a funny day?
It was not lovely, nor quite dignified:
Of blisters popped and chin hair she did write,
And many readers likely were quite horrified:
Sometimes too yuck the skin confessions were,
And once a “happy trail” she did imply;
And every fair from fair therefore declined,
By zits or steroid’s cream to rectify:
But my eternal laughter did not fade,
Nor lose remembrance of that fair she hath;
Nor was it so gross that I ran and screamed,
But rather thought a “perfect post” to grant:

So long as blogs shall be, or Brillig see,
So long lives this, which post gives laughs to me.

Oh my gosh. I did it. A full sonnett, all 14 lines, all in iambic pentameter. I must have really enjoyed her post. So, in case some of you missed it (because, let’s face it, sometimes I had to stretch a bit and it lacked, well, meaning) I hereby award Kate of Walking Kateastrophe
May’s Perfect Post for her post, “Just when I thought lazer hair
removal only worked on brunettes.“

What are you doing still sitting here? Go read her post!
