MN's 10th Birthday Party competition - write a Haiku about MN and win a golden ticket. To be judged by the Poet Laureate. (Not kidding!)

So... it's our tenth birthday and we're having a party to celebrate on March 2nd. And seeing as we can't possibly fit you all in, we thought it would be nice to have a competition to have 10 Mumsnetters (plus partners) come along. As part of the prize we'll put you up in a London hotel, dress you in Boden (natch) and send you out to dinner at Pizza Express too. Full details here.

All you've got to do is to write a haiku (and we know how good you are at those) which sums up Mumsnet. And the 10 best will win. Simples.

And lest you think we might not pick the right winners, we've got Carol-Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, to judge them for us. So for all those of you who enjoy writing in verse, here's your chance to shine.

Good luck.

Is this where we say
Happy Birthday to Mumsnet
And get judged by CAD

I think therefore I mumsnet -
Or sometimes it is
The other way round.

theyoungvisiter · 10/02/2010 08:33

I think the warning
On AIBU should read
Don't drink and mumsnet.

theyoungvisiter · 10/02/2010 08:36

If you wake at night
To wonder, AIBU?
You're a mumsnetter.

A biscuit encodes
The choices of a nation.
Well, we are British.

Lemon drizzle mums
Sneaking in the 'bat' for laughs
This delightful haven.

Full moon icon wax

Alas! Trolls misrule.

Cilla really does
want to go to pizza place,
wearing Johnny's dress.

EileenVance · 10/02/2010 11:41

Zeph's and Anguis' should jointly win.

EileenVance · 10/02/2010 11:43

Anguis's even.

Parents together,
Cyber hugs, not Sunny D,
Great community

Friends, fisticuffs...full
of memorable members
It is Mum-entous

Mmmango · 10/02/2010 13:22

I hope Carol reads
This whole thread and a few more
before judging us.

Mumsnet: middle class
Boden-clad lentil-weavers
Plus Custardo

Bottle versus breast
Jammy dodgers at dawn
Do I win the contest?

Rhubarb · 10/02/2010 16:33

Come and have a go
If you think you're hard enough
Mumsnet at it's best

Rhubarb · 10/02/2010 16:38

Trolls, lols, rofls and tears
Bumsex, chat, affairs and fears
Mumsnet through the last 10 years.

piratecat · 10/02/2010 16:51

I can't remember
who I was, before I was,
this dear mumsnetter.

Rhubarb · 10/02/2010 16:58

Mumsnetter or hairy trucker?
Moldie bashing, Daily Mail
Irate posters, full moon waning.
