So, just to prove that we're not all NASCAR watching, budwieser drinking, harley riding on sundays in leather chaps, banjo playing, tobacco chewing, inbred, one toothed, backwoods, bumpkins the State of West Virginia has decided to incentivize the state's youth to participate in the literary arts. Yes, folks, we're having a poetry contest. About monster trucks. Yes, you read that right, monster trucks.
While I'm sure that great literary works have been written about less classy subjects, I'd imagine most of them were composed by drunken irishmen or sailors on shore leave. I, for one, cannot wait to read "Ode to Bigfoot."
Paging Peregrinus... paging Peregrinus...

The poetry isn't about monster trucks--it's just a cute name to get kids interested, as the article says. The subject of the poetry can be about anything.
Yeah. "Cute name." I could probably come up with a few more cute names to get kids interested....
Let's use thiers to top the list and then move on from there...
"Monster Truck Poetry Pull"
"Chewing Tobacco Poetry Spit"
"Cars on Blocks Poetry Overhaul"
"Banjo Boy Poetry Ho-Down"
continuing on the deliverance theme...
"Boy You Sure Got a Purty Limerick Poetry Contest"
I can go on... But I probably shouldn't.
