The Worst Rhymes
Last week a list of alleged rhymes was imposed upon readers of the Guardian." as prize winners in the local competition for a £5 nq#e. It was hoped by the advertiser that the inser/tioiuof this brainless doggerel would confuse our intelligent readers and dash the hbpes .of seekers after a £5 note. The stealing of an opponent's brains is ji very LOW dodge, but ,■ we are able to state that, verse^1 are coming in, in which Leeston, by cutest and keenest versifying,, is able to show Christchurch* how to write, even equally as well as it does how to sell groceries. The competition closes on March 31. Competitors may send in as many attempts as they choose but . must confine the matter to price cutting and th 6 value of Leeston as a buying centre. ~ • An independent judge has beeif appointed.
