for The Writer's Cramp, due Aug 12
It was somewhere in December, a couple of years ago
the day was a Tuesday, that still I know
an SMS was sent, and they chose me
to participate in a radio show

Boys against girls was the name of the game
on the radio I had my five minutes of fame
the first round I survived; but then
the next round came, an hour later

My youngest son listened how I answered the questions
one right, one wrong, the next one
would make the decision: on to the next round or not?

How often can Hallelujah be found in the Top 2000?
is it two, or is it three?
One from Hind, and one from Leonard Cohen
two was the answer I gave, and then...

You lost, he is through to the next round
and you win a pink hat
my son still knows and teases me with that!

Mom, you lost, thanks to Hallelujah
but who on earth sang version number three?
I still do not know... maybe you can tell me!

21 lines.
Author's note: I still have the pink hat at home, and actually was glad that I did not proceed to the next round. I would have missed it due to my youngest son's swimming lessons anyway. It had to be so.
