And on the fifth day, there was another book giveaway!

As promised, today being the 5th of September, I am having another giveaway for another copy of the shiny new-and-improved brand spankin' not-even-on-the-shelves-yet Big Big Love.

To win, simply write a clerihew on the historical personage of your choice and post it in the comments on this blog between now and noon EST tomorrow, Tuesday, September 6.

A clerihew, for those unfamiliar, is a humorous biographical poem that consists of two rhymed couplets (AA/BB) whose length and meter may be odd for humorous effect; the first line is the name of the individual. For example:

Richard Nixon

Was guilty of dirty tricks in

The White House, while resident

As the country's president.

or

Marie Antoinette

Completely lost her tête

When they took the king and queen

To meet la guillotine.

 

Best clerihew wins a book.

Just as a reminder, you must do this here at hanneblank.com to be entered to win the book– if you read this elsewhere via RSS or what-have-you, and you post your comments there instead, I will never see your comments.
