Classic Pun Slam! Seattle!

Fun Intended Punslam is a slam-style punmaking contest

Now celebrating over 10 years of Punthusiasts!

Are you a chronic literary offender

Ready to embark on a wordsmithing bender?

Get off your buns

& Sharpen your puns

‘Cause here comes your host, the fabulous Forest Ember!

The task before you is clear

10 of you must volunteer

For 3 rounds of fudges

‘Front 5 esteemed judges

While the rest of us laugh, drink & cheer!

Grammarchists think in new ways

Atop a pre-written phrase

Some will advance

To take a big chance

With the audience's clever repartees

The next round is competitive by pluck

Since the prompt, as you will see, is potluck

Just moments to think

It will go by in a blink

And leave all with jaws dropped and awestruck

Lastly, the final exam

Goes mono a mono to deprogram

The pun once so maligned

Will tonight be enshrined

Against the tallest of odds

We’ve found the punniest bipods
