We were all given a name pulled out of a hat and had to secretly come up with a few lines to describe them. Then on the night we pass the poems along and all have to guess not only who they are about but who was each poems author.
In typical Springate fashion, the guidelines were somehow either not told or not explained to everyone, and for an added twist to throw us off the scent, Liz who's idea it was, decided that hers was the one to break these rules the most.
Having been heavily penalised and critisized on previous family quizzes, I of course did follow the rules, which were as follows ;-
1) No names of people or places.
2) No more than two verses.
3) No more than six lines to each verse.
Below are links to the following 10 poems, as Tamzin did not bring her partner, Leonie and Leigh live too far away to come for just a small family get together, and Maribel has not yet met any of my family so could hardly be expected to write a poem about them, or have one done to her ... and also is about 12,000 miles away at the moment.
I hope you, err, enjoy reading them as much as we, ahh, enjoyed writing them.
