A tiger prowls within an aviary. Zounds! What zaums spread across the perches. Panic needs no translation. When the news is full of nonsense and when sense never makes the news. What is the need for nonsense?

The Third Nonsense Writing Contest - The Voting Boot - Prizes Worth 30 STEEM - Voting Ends in 36 Hours This particular round has been a source of constant hiccups, and yet, we come to the process of digestion. <center>https://i.imgur.com/5SlAtLw.jpg</center> I have read and re-read all the entries and have come up with a shorter shortlist this time. In preparation for the random changes in prize distributions, this contest will have one winner from the poll, one from my personal choice plus a third random draw. I shall explain the random draw in the final post on Friday morning. ### Dramatis Personae [Nonsense writing contest!](https://steemit.com/steemleo/@filosof103/nonsense-writing-contest) [Euphorische Rede Euphoric Speech](https://steemit.com/deutsch/@udabeu/euphorische-rede-euphoric-speech) [Virus Schmyerus, a Nonsensical Freewrite](https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@owasco/virus-schmyerus-a-nonsensical-freewrite) [Nonsense Non Sense On Sense - No Sense](https://steemit.com/nonsense/@worldbuilder/nonsense-non-sense-on-sense-no-sense) [We agreed!](https://steemit.com/hive-161155/@wakeupkitty/we-agreed) [Stumbling blocks!

A huge thanks to *every* writer who has taken part. There have been quite a few comments about these contests, some expressing similar ideas: This isn't as easy as it looks; This is great fun and a source of personal pleasure; We are looking for crazy people.

The first bit of news is that I am extending this Third Nonsense Writing Contest by one day, so the deadline will be the end of Monday, 10 February. It's a public holiday here, and I really need a couple

This is going to be very very quick as here it is very very late and I need to wake up very very early. The clear winner of the voting poll is @fitinfun and my personal award goes to @stormcharmer.

Welcome to the penultimate post in this Second Nonsense Writing Contest. A big thank-you to all the writers. This week was harder to judge, hence there are fewer entries that made the final cut - somewhat like SPS raising the bar. <center>https://i.imgur.com/YWJBif8.jpg</center> Laughing is not always a reaction to humour. I mean, being tickled is not funny in the least. Sometimes a single line can elevate a piece to the top shelf. Sometimes the world is turned upside-down just so that you notice it was never the right way up in the first place. <center>https://youtu.be/JSTpRCscfKI</center> Here is my selection of topsy-turveys for this Second Contest. --- ### The Reading List [Some Nonsense Writing](https://steempeak.com/@wwwiebe/some-nonsense-writing) [Freiwillige Helfer streben dem Ausgang zu](https://steemit.com/deutsch/@udabeu/freiwillige-helfer-streben-dem-ausgang-zu) (with English tr.)

The final two winners will be selected by combining this vote and my own favourite. They will each win an extra 5 MAXUV tokens. ### How do I vote? This vote will be open until it closes - this will be in about 48 hours from posting, so Thurday night *my* local time. The reason you see *three* similar lists is that dpoll creates a list of options plus a list of voting buttons but neither of them have links to the actual articles. Hence we end up with this triple layered cake. A slight change to the voting this time - you can only make *one* selection. Please vote at the dpoll link. Comments are good; they are healthy and wealthy. Now enriched with vitamin CC. However, I am not spending my time counting comments, so please vote on the dedicated dpoll webpage. A spray of tokens will descend on any human activity, such as voting, resteeming, commenting and remote viewing. Good luck and good reading! --- _{[Quote](http://www.notable-quotes.com/n/nonsense_quotes.html) from Gary Zukav, *The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics*.
