As long as it doesn't start with "There once was a man from Nantucket...

well I was thinking something like
"There once was a pedal from Sweden....

GAME ON !!!!

The 4Hs are built and in the mail so time to throw down if youve been holding back should be early next week.....

Hushed Snow Leopard

In the distance,
Amidst the snow Flakes that blur
The Real and the pure Void,
Crouches the snow leopard,
Potent legs Awaiting the Command
To Pounce from the Rocky ledge.
Measured Paces,
The silent Hush of breath
Like That of a ghost,
The only Forewarning to prey.
Then the Strike.
Swift and soundless,
The gnawing of teeth.
The Snow Leopard
Strides into the Distance,
Its lengthy spotted Tail fading
Majestically into
The Peaks of the Himalayas.

Woohoo !!!
4 Hs have landed ..........(Ill get a pic later)

Judging/Drawing will be

Monday Memorial Day Afternoon

Eyefly has excercized his win card from the last contest and claimed an H (Congrats cork !)

Leaving 3

One will be to the person best answering the original question....

One will reward creativity

and the last one will be drawn from the other entrants who followed directions ; ]

Well, the 4H thing made me think of a hog... in a good way though, don't these guys look happy?



Hogs on the Board

Thick and rotund, he’s hungry for more;
Really a huge, hefty boar.
He would wallow away in the dirt and sustain,
Occasionally cleaning up in the rain.
This wondrous swine, who has me truly floored,
While watching for Hogs on the board.

So, being not very poetic, I borrowed the structure for reasons that should be apparent... Hopefully there's enough original bits there.

Pedal Wizard (to the tune of pinball wizard)

Ever since I heard his ppf,
I’ve longed to hear ‘em all.
From Boston down to Sweden
They’re treasured by all.
But I’ve heard nothing like them
In any music store.
That amazingly talented Bjorn
Sure makes some great pedals!

He sits at his bench
His tools an extension of his arms
Making all the pedals
Always soundin’ fabulous.
Tweaks with his ears
Sounding ever better
That amazingly talented Bjorn
Sure makes some great pedals!

He’s a pedal wizard
A model H building genius
A pedal wizard,
S’got such amazing ears.

How do you think he makes them?
I don’t know!
What makes them so good?

Ain’t heard nothing better
Can hear the sound in my head,
Pete Townshend doin’ windmills
That crunchy sound the best.
Rolls down the volume,
Sparkling sound emerges,
That amazingly talented Bjorn
Sure makes some great pedals!

I thought Bjorn was
The pedal making king.
But his Model H
Just makes him more supreme.

Even next to all his pedals
The Model H is better.
His ears guide him in
His magical fingers do the rest
All I want is to own one
That Townshend sound all mine.
That amazingly talented Bjorn
Sure makes some great pedals!

Seekers of the truth please perk up your Ears
Understanding the beast symbolizing MODEL H might lessen bitter Tears
The original animal for which MODEL H has so been Named
Is none other than HENGROEN, King Arthur's stallion, so Famed
To ride the unique Horse on the quest for this Grail
Is to end one's MODEL H longing and is the tail of this Tale

Ok 1st winner:



Animal best representing the Model H

NICHCOPE ~ Owl named Who !!!
