tour de france offical guide competition

ok, our new director of marketing (lorraine) has managed to score us four copies of the official tour de france guide from our good friends at ride media. as the tour starts this weekend, we need to give these away asap since you will need them for the tipping comp.

they have a bunch of articles on the contenders as well as profiles on each team and stage. valued at $13.95 each, anyone who has bought this previously will know that it is full of useful information.

so how do you win a copy???

what i need from you is a haiku based around the tour de france.

what is a haiku???

a haiku is an unrhymed 17 syllable poem of Japanese origin.
The structure is:
line 1 – 5 syllables

line 2 – 7 syllables
line 3 – 5 syllables

example.

competition starts
write me a good poem now
prizes you can win.

pretty basic, just three lines of text and you can score yourself a copy.
winners will be judged on how funny their entry is, so don’t make it too serious.

entry is via comments to this post, so make sure you don’t do an anonymous post or i can’t track you down.
