Tourney round: The Twelve Games of Chris-mas: Vol. IV: The Holly and The: Game Four

<< Game Three | Game Five >>

Notes from the organizer: Game Four! I think I need a little lie down...

...because it's time for Poetry Corner, where musings on mortality are weighed against sadly self-pleasuring pirates or a visit to a fairly uninspiring zoo. What will take my fancy this year?

I'd like you to write me a poem using a Touchdown Jnr Letters Attack. Your poem must be composed of valid declarations, read in order from Round 1 to Round 20, and must use all the rounds in between. Poems will be judged entirely subjectively by me, so there won't be any ties. If you would like to give your poem a title, please do so in the comment section on your game's page.

The BONUS TOURNAMENT POINT will be awarded to any player who achieves at least four maxes during the game.

If you have any questions about the rules, scoring, or anything else pertaining to this tourney, please feel free to ask.
