CONGRATULATIONS to our clever clerihew winners!!  
There were so many superb entries that selecting prize winners was quite a challenge.
FIRST PLACE - Barbara Morrow
  The lyrics of Lesbian Sappho
  made all the girls tingle and gasp so
  In Athens, sage Solon did cry,
   "Let me learn her new song, and then die."
SECOND PLACE - Neil Golden
  R. Buckminster Fuller
  taken for a leg puller
  spake the truth we ignore:
  1 + 1 = 4.
THIRD PLACE - Gill Reavill
  Jane Austen
  wrote books we get lost in
  When "Do you read novels?" I hear
  I say, "All six, every year."
