That's the winner. Three stanzas. Stand up folks and give a rousing round of applause for this fine young literary heavyweight who managed to refer to not only Jobson, but Don Johnson (he didn't even have to mention Mark Wahlberg, but weren't you all thinking about that steamy last scene from "Boogie Nights"?). Such evocation, such subtle and fluid rhyming, I mean, "Jobson," "Jobs in", "nice," "thrice," "Vice," wow, can't you just feel it creeping up around your legs? It's getting pretty hot in here, and I'm in Eastern Michigan in January! He wins the prize, a mon avi. We have only to hear from Jimmy. Come on, Jimster, rubber-stamp this one. It's cash, baby!!!!!
