Single’s Awareness Day is upon us, and we have some limericks for you, courtesy of our customers.   This year’s winner comes from SH, who wrote:

“A Newfoundland Affair”
There once was a gal who lacked romance,
despite being born in Come-by-chance.
Because come as you are
is too easy by far,
‘specially with a fellow named Lance.

And a special second award goes to LB, who gave us:

While ideal of romance is inviting,
and the benefits, true, delighting,
I’d sever a finger
for one who would linger,
nearby, poem-reciting.

Thanks to everyone who entered.  And remember: tomorrow is Half-Price Chocolate Day!

February 14th is coming up fast.  I myself prefer to celebrate the lesser-known holiday on the 15th (aka: Half-price Chocolate Day!), but for everyone else, it’s time for our annual Singles Awareness Day contest.

At stake is a box of exquisite chocolates from Soma, a truly world-class* chocolatier.  To enter, send us a limerick on the subject of romance.  Successful or not; existing or imaginary; serious or funny: doesn’t matter.  Email your entry to: contest/at bakkaphoenixbooks dot/com.  We’ll choose and post the winner on February 13th.

*also local; but their kitchen is not nut-free. If you have a serious allergy, this is not a good contest for you.  Unless you’re giving the chocolate away, in which case I like the sea-salt caramels.  In case you were wondering.

2nd ETA:  This contest is now closed.  Check back next Tuesday for another chance to win.
