What a great game. Go Dave, go Po. I haven't written a poem since my mother made fun of my Deep Within the Heart of a Red, Red Rose poem (gee, I wonder why) when I was a teenager.

Okay, here I go.

Poet, very nice! I'm sure those chiefs would appreciate your poem. And I do.

It's a guy thing, but the joke is "How would a fella know the water in the urinal was cold?" Hint: We don't wash our hands in it.

Here's another attempt that I'm sure they will not appreciate.

Chiefs I met
Five of them
Three standing at the urinal
Same as me
"How's the water?" one asked.
"Cold," I said.
