No topic😵

beetle went to town
when he was feeling down
found a pound
on the ground
beside a hound
sitting on a mound
bought a round
at the fox and hound
went home to Maria
feeling sound!

minimalist poetry, ahem....

Isn't 'satanic prose' enough of a hint?

I agree. Just leave it at that. No need to hem it in any tighter.

whilst he was previously down
jus’ like fox he was chased by that hound😵

Can we make sure that if there's a panel this time they're actually pro-active enough not to take 16 months to write up their comments?

I'd say any such panel should consist of people who are not going to write. Their judgements could also be voted on by the entrants, for additional guffawage and a potentially vertiginous mise en abyme.

666 is not divisible by "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.". Count me out.
