Fun talk:Goats for poetry affair

I'm sure that I'm being dumb here, but I don't quite understand this. You say:

I, Jeeves, will buy one goat for every poem about goats submitted below

And I understand that part, but this bit confuses me:

and donate whatever crap I get from oxfam in return to my donation to the authors of the best poems.

So ... you're going to get something from Oxfam? And what does "in return to my donation" mean?

Then I'm confused by the next sentence:

Probably in scanned form, but if you want it by post I can do that too.

Finally, if I write a limerick - will that count?--Bob^{bing up} 13:48, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Yes, all forms of verse are acceptable. I guess it isn't really a donation, if I get something in return, but the thing you get in return is of far less value than the money you give the charity, see? See the Oxfam link, anyway. --JeevesMkII 14:12, 5 September 2008 (EDT)
