Please join me in congratulating this month's winners:
First place (a tie!):
Sparrow for "Down deep in his cavernous lair..." and
Endirion for "There once was a dragon named Mort..."
Second place:
Stormrider for "Smaug once was a red-golden dragon..."
Third place (a tie too!):
Fangorn for "There once was a little green smoker..."
and Illadria for "Some days Smaug slithered..."
Woo-hoo! You-all had more fun than a baby dragon at a Bic convention! And there were a lot of crowd-pleasers, too -- as you can see by the results, it was a really tight race this month. Congratulations to all our limericists! Winners, your prize ribbon files are attached to this message (yes! they really are! I'm not just kidding around this time!) -- please download your prize and enjoy your bragging rights through the end of the month.
Thanks again for braving the dragon's den. This month, I hope we'll find you tubing down the Anduin...or something equally cool and wet.

Congrats to all the winners! It's so very hard to actually judge these things ... they are all so well-written!

You are so kind to honor me, and I am proud to share this honor with Endirion, Stormrider, Fangorn, and Illadria. It seems to me any of the other entries could just have easily been awarded a ribbon.
Gratefully,
Sparrow

Hey - I can't get my ribbon - is this part of the site problems, or is it just me?

sparrow ...
No doubt this is a side-effect of the MSN Groups Server Backup (or whatever the maintenance is). It may be a few weeks before our site is restored so just hang in there. This did happen before, last year actually (but on a smaller scale ... and with much less havoc).
I've started emailing tech support about it and I'm watching related conversations on the Web Design group for any helpful info.
