Moosejaw says: Submit the best Quatrain Poem about Dads and Win a Mountain Hardwear Lightwedge 2 Tent. If you dont know what a Quatrain is, ask someone smarter than you. If I knew what a Quatrain was Id tell you but I dont know and I dont feel like looking it up. My guess is that it has to do with four of something. The Winner will be announced June 1st and if you dont sign up no one will like you. Love the Madness! Moosejaw

Papa -
My dad and I are opposites
He plays guitar and I climb trees,
But I'll always be his little princess
At least that's where we agree

Dad needs a new tent no doubt
Here I sit wondering about
A simple task of four little lines
What I think would really work is my dads wanting whines

To help dad buy a new tent
We'd have to give this months rent
Moosejaw has instead offered a chance
For us all to do a happy dance

Fathers day-
With out this day of days
Would my father know the many ways
That he has touched my soul
And guided me into my own fatherly role

Dad fell in love with Mom
Well after he married the woods
She asked if he could leave it
He said he never could.
So they romped through underbrush
To find a fishing spot
No trophy bass or pike or trout
My brother was all they got.

Quatrains are awful. I'm going to do a limerick and rules be damned.
I once had a father named Larry,
Who's chest was barrel-like and hairy.
After a few beers he'd complain
The White House was going down the drain
Don't look at me, Dad, I voted for Kerry

My dad is a hardcore camper dude
He loves to wonder around and catch his own food
He said he would take me camping somewhere with a view
But only if I win The Mountain Hardwear Lightwedge 2

The outdoors are rad.

This tent is wicked cool.
My dad is no fool.
Refrigerator!

My dad taught me to surf.
Hes the smartest man on earth.
My dad is super strong and big.
One time my dad wrestled a pig.
They wrestled in mud, they wrestled in snow.
They wrestled up high, they wrestled down low.
They wrestled all day, they wrested all night.
I didnt think either would ever win that fight.
Finally my dad got that pig by the snout.
Please forgive me he squealed in a shout.
And why did that pig deserve such an attack?
He made fun of the moose that was etched on my back.

Yeah, my dad took me home from soccer when I was too young to drive.
And he doesn't call me sport when I'm hanging with the guys.
He doesn't laugh at the way I throw like everyone else does.
He brings me queso dip from Chili's just because. Yeah, just because!
Yeah, my dad likes Jefferson Airplane and The Doors.
Its not what I usually listen too but its still nice.
My dads not great at installing hard wood floors.
Mom didn't like them so he had to redo them twice.
Yeah, my dad takes collect calls from people he doesnt know.
The frozen custard place is where he most likes to go.
Hes got a samurai sword that I am not allowed to touch.
On his first date with my mom she insisted they go Dutch.
Yeah, my dad brings me gifts from his business trips.
Once he got me a Ricky Fitts Moosejaw Shirt.
I loved the shirt so much I was doing flips!
Until I landed on my head...it really hurt.

Breaking it down Barney style
All you fools will be waiting a while
When my dad hears about this contest
He will rise above the rest
Moosejaw Moosejaw give me some gear
Dad spends all his money on beer
I'm so broke I cant afford the rent
And here we sit with out a tent
My dad once kicked Chuck Norris's ass
You ask him about it and you'll be eating grass
Chuck thought he had him with his moves
But like a disco inferno my dad was in the grooves

Dads are lads
and husbands too.
Smile and be glad

My dad could be considered the least of outdoorsmen
When I speak of synthetic vs. Down I always confuse him
When asked how his offspring has acquired so much skill
My Dad says, "This apple tree grew on a hill."

Dads gear is in need of an upgrade.
Yeah, vintage is cool.
But, you look like a fool.
That old tent of yours has decayed.

When you have no idea how to write a poem a little madness will fix the problem so here's the value of pie
3.14159265358979323846
sadly not as tasty as the word may sound but very useful to my dad.

Mountain Hardwear Lightwedge 2 has plenty of room for 2 people to screw.
Dad says "Spring ,Summer , Fall I am sure this tent can handle it all, while I am inside of it having a ball"!
6 lbs is nothing to carry ! Unless you are a lightass then it might be kinda scarry !!!!!
Keep your eye on the prize ,I will not lie ,Dad wants to win its just his size............I know you wanna win too , but if he does I wont feel sorry for you !!!!!

Dads make good role models
Until your sixteen
Which is when life goes full throttle
And you do things obscene
<
Once they hit fifty
Their waist line explodes
They start getting cranky
because their tendons erode
<
I still love you, dad
and I think that youre great
You just should be glad
I dont still live at your place
<
Because hell would break loose
when im drying out my tent
on your rug made of moose
;where all the mud went

My father a.k.a. "Big Shooter"
My dad let me drive the truck when I was eight,
Next year he showed me how to hook the bait,
By age eleven, my father told me to hold open the doors,
Soon thereafter, he showed me how to handle the ladies roars,
By the time I was seventeen, he got me my first mustang,
That car later helped me land a girl with a nice southern twang,
The next year I went off to college in Minnesota,
I was soon drinking many other things than soda,
When I was age 21, my father showed me how to correctly take a beer bong,
For both of us, the next day ended up being very long,
By age 24, I was well into graduate school,
My father showed me that it takes many qualities to truly be cool,
Thanks dad for all of the good times,
I hope you enjoyed all of these rhymes,
For the greatest dad in the world, I wish you a good day,
I also know that you deserve a very good lay!

Dads,
Somone to take you out fishing,
to ride with,
to belay you,
and to share a beer.

every dog I ever met wished it could dance to polka
there are still a few undiscovered pygmies
my dad is 63 this year
with nothing to do with anything I think I should be the guy in charge of it all

Dad needs a new tent.
He needs a break.
He wants to get away,
Before he tells the kids to get bent.
