COUNTDOWN = 7 DIFFERENT LETTERS C,O,U,N,T,D,W

Post by BRIAN GRAHAM »

I have JUST heard a rumour that Countdown might be taken off our screens in the not too distant future. Hopefully, this will be no more than a rumour but, just in case, I have hurriedly written a rallying call for all fans using only the 7 different letters that appear in the title Countdown = C,O,U,N,T,D,W.

Cut Countdown?
Ow! Ow! Ow!
No! No! No!
Don't! Don't! Don't!
Tut! Tut! Tut!
Won't! Won't! Won't!

Cotton on!
Count on Countdown
to woo woo woo!
Count on Countdown
to wow wow wow!

Cotton on!
Undo Ow! Ow! Ow!
Own Countdown.
Own Countdown Now

Woot!
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

In a nutshell, it's my style of writing verse. I take a title and then write about it using only the letters that are in the title. I call it One Word Verse. Cheers!
