Here's a great suggestion which came up in digestion. If you can turn a tidy rhyme then you can make a prime dime.

Subject: Internet, Special Reserve, Freeola, Games, Consoles and/or people or animals of the forums (including staff)*.

Your subject must be any or all of the above otherwise your poem will not count.

Best poem by midday on September 5th wins a £25 EXTRA GAD prize. That's any game of your choice up to £25. (Poems are worth much to us)

Only one winner. The Judge will be Fate (my wife).

Oh yes - leave out the complete rubbish PLEASE. And if it is supposed to be the words to a tune then please tell us which tune as we don't carry a juke box of ditties in our little heads.

*er - I don't mean the staff are animals.

Spankyou DW ... at least SOMEONE appreciated it instead of criticising it!

*gives Áshley and cookie monster an evil stare*

And anyway, Tony said it could be a tune as well so ... HAH!

Stuck in a hole and nowhere to go?
Nobody listens? Feeling so low?
Just need somewhere you can write
About your life throughout the night?
Then come and visit Special Reserve
Sign on in and type your worth
Hold your head right up high
Tell us all you want to die
And then perhaps you'll watch in pain
As another topic will say the same
Another person wants to die
But both topics get no reply
Because it seems in order to win
You have to make the users grin
And that's just fine and that's just great
Because after all they know their fate
They all know that they are fine
Life is good within their lines
And as you try to explain your grief
You'll be told to take a leaf
From others books on how to write
Just a newbie, you can't be right
So come and talk about your pain
Maybe you will win a game

If copied poems are ok, im submitting this one.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash.

If the label on the cable on the table at your house says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, and your screen is all distorted by the side-effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, and the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC, then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM. quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mum!

You like poems?
You like my poem:

This is a poem
It doesn't rhyme
Because I'm rubbish at that
But it is great
Most likely the best here
But I will let someone else win
Because I'm nice
Games are fun to play
And SR sell them cheap
So buy from SR
And keep them happy
Because they love you
But they are the only ones who do

;)
