SoP 47: Inspiration, or Lack Thereof

As far as my inspiration will go,
Right now I do beweep its dried-up state.
I wish that I had more to share and show,
But oh, alas, it’s all I have to date.

They call it Writer’s Block out on the street,
Although, to us, it’s torture, simply put,
lacking ideas to put upon the sheet
And when some do, they only get the foot.

Oh how I wish I could think of something
that’s worth the pianoman’s good reading time.
And hopef’ly into trash bin he won’t fling
this sorry s’cuse for verse and dreadful rhyme.

Please bear with me for one more couplet set.
Now you are done, seek refuge with your pet.

And Now, For Something Completely Different (Shameless Plug)

Hey all you people!

I hope nobody minds a shameless self-plug... and even if you do, I'm going to plug anyway, and there's not much you can do about that.

Right! Well! I've been posting my writings now and again on Protagonize, and I have posted a challenge.

My first really successful challenge on Protag was the Diabolically Villainous Challenge. It always blows my mind how evil some people can think, really. Both on Protag and on Ficlets, I believe this was my most successful challenge.

But now, it's time for "something completely different."

Yes indeed, it's a Monty Python Challenge! Simply put, entrants must write a short piece/sketch that could very well be a Python sketch, complete with nonsense, silliness, absurdity, and/or British awesomeness. Or any combination thereof.

The last time I did this challenge was on ficlets, and I was told it was a good idea, but nobody could think of anything. I ended up having to award a winner by default (the entry can be found here, while my admission to winner-by-default can be found here). Regardless of past results, I'm trying the challenge once again on new turf.

So far, nothing. But, as I've notified some people who've expressed interest before, that'll probably change.

I hope.
