Right, voting is closed as of this post; I'm sick of this farce of a VERSE COMPETITION (not farcical because of the poems entered or the votes given, but because of the wanton silliness and general General apathy).
Votes have been counted. Many thanks to all who submitted their work, and to all who waded through this mess of a thread to vote. The winners are:
1st place, with 32 votes: Untitled by rwingett
2nd place, with 29 votes: Evolution by Starrman
3rd place, with 18 votes: Thuh Poery of Alclohol by Starrman
Mad props, Rob and Liam; you'd best be entering the forthcoming VERSE COMPETITION: RHP POET LAUREATE EDITION. In fact, everyone had best be entering the VC:RHPPLE. In particular, the bard who gave us such delightful works as 'Humanity' and 'Large Poo Crumbs' would, in not entering, be committing a sin akin to standing someone up at the Natural History Museum.

Just count the votes yourself, plonker. My hype didn't go as planned. Look up.
I didnt look at the thread when it was young, but i would've told you where to get off.
Participation shouldnt be expected
edit. so starman voted for his own poems. oooohh😞

I had expected a level of participation similar to former verse competitions, and have some modifications in mind for the next one.

another suggestion would be a seperate post with the poems, so anyone wanting to read them doesnt have to go through 9 pages before reaching the poetry.
who wrote yesterday, by the way?
