Tom's good cheer throughout this whole rollercoaster ride of a contest should be an example to us all. not once has he complained or been anything other than a real pooper trooper. and i'd just like to make note of the fact that he posted 19 POEMS IN A ROW spanning 2 days!! wow.

way to go, bro.

strike that...17 in a row. but that's still pretty awesome.

I still like Tom's poem... although I agree, it shouldn't be a finalist. Nevertheless, it's funny.

Thanks, Tydirium. Hopes this brings a chuckle, too.

So my poem has been disqualified,

It was really quite fun.

I appreciate my few votes,

Even though I haven?t won.

I had a blast,

It most surely made me think.

I chuckled at the comments of those

Who chose to make a stink.

Some called it poor work,

The form didn?t fit.

It just doesn?t matter,

As long as we?re talking shit.

My poetic form may be a ?car crash?,

To that, what can I say?

My only response is to take a good crap,

And with that, make my day.

To laugh is the aim,

I hope you did that.

Please read my other entry,

?bout the tinsel, and the cat.

To the winner goes the ShitBeGone,

The TP to you will pass.

Put it on the mantle,

Or wipe it on your ass.

This is the ideal web site,

You know how I can tell?

It?s the perfect combination,

It?s poop, without the smell!

I think that I shall go now,

I?ll leave you with these words?

You?ll never feel like an old fart,

If you keep laughing about turds!

I encourage all you voters out there to check out the rest of the nominees poems' before they make there decisions, because these finalists have some funny stuff out there.

i am going to protest these finalists and not "ineedtp" by not pooping ever again...

YOU MUST SEE THIS SITE ALL OF YOU! REMEMBER WHERE YOU SAW IT FIRST! http://www.heptune.com/poop.html

YOU MUST SEE THAT SITE

LATRINA'S was the best. That web site is a wealth of poo info Mya

I like Che's TP poem the best. It's short, simple, to the point, it makes sense, and it's funny. I also like Sgt Sweat Pants' one.

these poems do blow goats...there were better ones...

first off: thanks, Tom. i appreciate your kind words. i like Sgt Sweat Pant's poem, as well. there are lots of others that i like and i'll make sure and list them in my concession speach.

second: "EataFatturd@dung/dairyair.crap"??? i think you mean "@dung.derrière.crap". while "Dairy Air" certainly doesn't smell good (i once toured a milk plant and it made me gag), my "derrière" smells much worse. trust me.

yours,

Che

Thank you che for your words of wisdom...you have tought me that milk doesn't alway do a body good...

I voted for the "Dumps are a blessing" one -- primarily cuz "Turd-scented zephyrs" is about farts, not shit, which is a whole other category in itself and shouldn't even be included in the final tabulation for that very reason. And another thing, flatulent is misspelled, which in my opinion mandates immediate disqualification, but alas, it's not my website :P

Looks like Che and Tony are neck and neck. If it's a dead heat, the only way to resolve it will be for them to have a shitting competition. The dude with the biggest dump gets the Shitbegone!

damn! i spent 11 hours on the road Wednesday and didn't get to see the results of the voting! last i saw was Tuesday night and i think Tony had me by 1 vote. either way, it's been fun watching this thing go the distance.

as for the "dump off" proposed by Mike, i had some great ones in various truck stops along I-40 and I-77 en route to Indiana from North Carolina. some of my best work in a while. too bad that doesn't count. ;)

happy 4th everybody,

Che
