Competition | 6 March 2010

In Competition No. 2636 you were invited to submit either a victory song or a loser’s lament composed by one who regularly enters this competition.

All in all it was a lively and entertaining entry. And while there were fond references aplenty to the good old days — ‘Bono sub regno Jaspistou I’d gain,/ The occasional cheque for my toil, tears and pain…’ laments Martin Woodhead — when good sense and justice prevailed, the current incumbent stands accused of a litany of crimes, including having a tin ear and no sense of humour.
