Would there be interest if I did one like this? It is from a pipe forum.

*Edited for clarity*

Burma Shave Jingle Contest.

Burma Shave had ads back in the 60s, I believe it was the 60s, that were little jingles. The contest would be to create your own jingle.

The following rules would apply:

1) Must be about pipe smoking or name a CA member
2) No dirty stuff
3. Must follow the Burma Shave model (keep it to two lines of prose)

Go here for examples: http://burma-shave.org/

3) After a week there will be nominations to be added to a poll in which the people decide who wins by voting. There will be one winner.

Here is an example:

Does your husband
Have the disease
Pipe gods
Must He please?

Also, this is going to be a CA contest and subsequently the troops will not be receiving these prize winnings unless the winner specifically states for them to go to the sandbox instead.

I am not anti-supporting the troops and actually just sent some stuff their way. I just want this to be a contest for the guys here especially those who are new to pipe smoking or have not tried it yet.
