Clearly no one got it all right so I’ve assigned random and arbitrary points to every detail I liked as I read each one.
Examples of these include points going to:
John Clark for telling a story and randomly introducing characters in the best spirit of the twilight reign
As Bo for the six verses, wonderfully dodgy rhyming and using a word I didn’t know (I’m assuming it was used intentionally, though given the rhyming…)
Yarravalleyvino for the song I enjoyed the most, but loses one for the outright lie of “Tom Lloyd ain’t no potty-mouth”
Johann for clearly being drunk while writing the song…
Dan for the Crystal Skull called Tourette’s
Greg for returning to the shower scene theme and a disturbing level of commitment
The only answer I’m actually willing to give is the answer to the no. 3, "which occurs most frequently, love of fuck" where, at a count of 57-63, the fucks have it. As for the others, you’ll just have to read the book to find out the answers. But some of you guessed right ;0)
So without further ado, I think the winner has to be As Bo with the Trade paperback runner-up being Greg Land (from Facebook). So send me your details and I'll put copies in the post when I next am forced to leave the house!
Congrats!
Well done to the winners. And yes, I was drunk.
Re: Congrats!

*does little happy dance*
I would like to thank my mother for that first pack of Enid Blytons, my uncle for leaving his book cabinet unlocked,my secondary school classmates for introducing me to limericks and my English Lit teacher for the free time. And to everyone out there with a dream:doggerel IS good for something….
….
Sorry, I couldn’t resist
:p
PS Which word? Gorse or fife?
They’re both artefacts of my Brit-flavored education :)
Re: I won??!!!
heh, glad you’re happy!
The word was fife – My scottish wife knew it was an instrument of course, but I’d never heard it in that context!
