The Mork contest
A words fest jest
Let it rest
50,000 words in 30 days
Seems the craze
You're in a haze
Your eyes do glaze
You check your phrase
You do amaze
As you plays
Word jumble maze
Wordman of Alcatraz
Writes with pizazz
To Kill a Mockingword
May sound absurd
But haven't you heard
Spread the word
NaNo is NoNo
You should know
NoNo November
If you can remember
Maybe Mork from Ork
Has popped your cork
NaNo NoNo
NaNo NoNo
Hey Hey Hey

Please remember
I'm wishing you well

I think the mockingword is dead...
ReplyDeleteNot participating this year, although I have in the past. Why not? Didn't have a solid outline yet. But more importantly - I'm currently on vacation!!!!
And so is the Wordman of Alcatraz.
DeleteI wouldn't participate and much rather do things at my own schedule. Vacation is most important. Enjoy and try to avoid all those pesky autograph hunters.

Pfft the cat does thins on his own, so i won't throw Mork a bone, he'll have to hit up Mrs. Doubtfire, i hear she's up for hire.
ReplyDeleteAh Pat in the Hatt,

Strange name, that
The cat and a cup
Not as clever as a pup
I've heard you're for hire

Good for those who take on this challenge, but for me, no, no, my brain is on an extended holiday and has not given me a date when it shall return.
ReplyDeleteHi Arleen,
DeleteWishing them luck and hope they don't get stuck. My brain is on permanent vacation.
NaNo NoNo

My brain too has gone out to lunch without inviting me. Or perhaps it has just left. No notes, so I am not sure. I am also lazy, so NaNo is not a happening thing.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all those with more stamina, drive and creativity than I could ever muster.
Hi Sue,
DeleteThat was not very nice of your brain. Out to lunch, indeed. Nah to NaNo.
I wouldn't want that kind of stamina. I'm happy doing it my way. Time for a song. Thank you, Sue.

Whilst I wish all those participating the very best of luck, don't think I could write like that myself. I have enough pressure in my life without adding more!

I wish all the participants luck too. I'll never do it. It breaks down to about 1700 words per day. I don't think I could do 1700 words in a month!

Hi Gary and Penny .. what a fun post for many aspects I have no idea about .. but I can see the rhythm and rhyme for NaNoNaNo ... I'm so glad I'm not doing it!!

Hi Hilary,
DeleteJust a bit of fun while they are on the run to get the words just right, to their delight. I'm glad you're not doing it. I like to read your ongoing, informative posts.

I confess I have been seeing this NaNo thing everywhere but have no earthly idea what it is. I can't keep up with all these blog fests!
ReplyDeleteHi Keith,
DeleteYes, you can hardly avoid the darned thing. It isn't a blogfest, as such. More like a challenge to do those words within November. I think we should have a "Keith" blogfest. Maybe I jest.

I didn't know Mork could inspire such poetry. Is the Swedish Chef from Ork, bork bork bork?! I like Ms. Piggy because I love pork.

I'm a Mork and Dr Who fan, so will have to check out Youtube. I'm also a NaNo-No! I admire those who do it but have not committed to it myself yet. Maybe one year I will. :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Madeleine,
DeleteMork from Ork and Dr. Who, how do you do. I tried to get the video to go and it said no. Very strange because it's actually there. Those who do that NaNo are an admirable show. If you ever give it a go, have fun, you know :)
NaNo NoNo

ReplyDeleteGary, I agree with you on this one too.
I like to work at my own pace.

I regret to have to tell you this after such a fun post, but according to Wikipedia, Mork's greeting was "Na-Nu Na-Nu" (pronounced "nah-noo nah-noo"), not na-no, no-no. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAs for whatever happened to Pam Dawber, she married Mark Harmon in 1987 and has been sitting at home all these years with none other than Leroy Jethro Gibbs and watching the residuals from NCIS pour in.
Hi rhymeswithplague,
DeleteI regret to have to tell you that I already knew what you alluded to. Let's just have some fun and never mind the technicalities.
Thanks for the further info.

I planned to participate. My computer didn't cooperate. Now, it is half over and my desire for it has completely waned. NaNoNo indeed.

You are so funny! You found the NaNoNo theme song, the mascot (Mork from Ork), and wrote this great poem. I think it's my favorite poetic verse of yours.
ReplyDeleteShazbot, friends don't let other friends NaNo.

Hi Robyn,
DeleteYou are way too kind. Keep going with all the flattery. LOL. I found the theme song and I let off some Steam. Mork form Ork and Dr. Who, says NoNo to NaNo...Pat in the Hatt, take that! Aha....

ReplyDeleteYeah, I've been caught up in the NaNo whirlwind, but I've always loved a good challenge! You should feel bad for my hubby - I've been reading my work to him. Makes him fall asleep faster than his favorite TV shows. LOL Mark is right - it's madness! But I never claimed otherwise!
I never liked Mork - too juvenile but I've always enjoyed Robin's comedy - his new show, not so much.
Take care, I'll send an email soon! Patches sends her love to Penny!
Hi Yolanda,
DeleteI know know that you NaNo. I love a good challenge. Such as avoiding my adoring fans when I go for a walks. Now that's a challenge. Your hubby has my sincere sympathy. LOL I hate Mork and Mindy. Absolute crap. I remember when Robin Williams was almost funny. I didn't even realise he had a new show.
I noticed you had your comment section switched off recently. I have been visiting. Look forward to your email. Penny sends love back to Pennsylvania Patches :)

A thought to ponder:

What about NaNoLings or NaNoWriGo'ers?
Are those who don't complete NaNoNotters?
Or maybe even NaNoRotters?
Are those who are anti called NaNoNayers?
Are those who are on the fence NaNoMayers?

Hey Klahanie,
