Banana Akbar
Write a poem about how bananas are the best fruit ever, and about how green plantains cannot be trusted. Your poem must include both components (bananas good, green plantains bad).
You may skip the word "green" if you want as long as you differentiate between bananas and plantains. Referring to cooked/fried/boiled plantains as good is acceptable. Non-baptized plantains however are bad and must be referred to as such. Rhyming and standard meter are recommended but not required. |

Write a short story smothered in sentimentalism about a whitewashed person, place or thing. The most gag-inducing entry wins the entire pot. Non-blind contest, 150-450 words.
"Whitewashed": a cleaned-up, sanitized, revisionist version of a thing. For example, Disney versions of Brothers Grimm stories. |
