Bountiful Harvest for Year End Contest

Responses so far have blown away expectations. It’s good to know that some of you are stealing time away from other preoccupations to dip into your playlists about the Bomb and to craft new lyrics to old favorites. But other ACW readers – yeah, you – are still sitting on your musical impulses.

As good as the entries are so far, I happen to know – and please do not consider this jury tampering – that none of you have yet to offer the lyric that will deliver Josh Pollack’s vote. There’s still one week to go, so keep these entries coming. We’ll close the contest on Thursday, December 22nd, and announce the winners after Christmas – assuming there are no Big Surprises in the meantime that divert us to more serious matters.
