Contest Description
What to Submit?
1 original, poem on the theme of ............. Christmas Song Parodies
Any form is acceptable.
I always have fun making up lyrics to popular songs that are(to me) funny! I began writing Christmas song Parodies for my office Christmas party and singing them each year, a few years ago. Everyone gets a kick out of it. I would love to see your versions of these songs most of us know by heart...I think? You can enter 1 to 4 songs and I'll be looking for humor, clever wit, closely matching the rhythm and layout of the original. Syllable counts need not be perfect, but close. True and near rhymes acceptable. I have posted an example of your like to see it. Have fun and please do not be deliberately offensive to others religious beliefs... be respectful. That being said, this is supposed to be a fun and funny poetry contest so please read these with that in mind. I believe God has a sense of humor! What would constitute offensive material to me would be overtly sexual lyrics, and any lyrics that would mock another's faith. Yall are the best, so I'm not too worried! Have fun and let's laugh!
