In case you missed it, @papa-pepper has a Wild and Strange Poetry Contest going on.

This part of his contest is part 4 in a wonderful effort of community activity and fun.

There are a few simple rules to follow in order to participate:

• It's got to be 8 lines of poetry.
• It needs to rhyme
• It's got to be kid-friendly because he's got little ones.
• And it's got to be influenced by the winning meme submitted by @meesterboom.

^{For full rules and the progression of his contest, visit his post.}

My Entry:

Deep in the woods there lived a Squatch

And from the wood the Squatch would watch

The goings on at Steemit's site

His curiosity did bite

He signed on with a username

Learned markdown, voted, played a game

He thought that humans were a myth

When asked by peers, he pled the fifth.

My personal goal was to reach Dolphin status by the end of the year. I managed to accomplish that early!

As a thank you to the community I have decided to dedicate all of the liquid STEEM and SBD in a #payitforward initiative until the end of the year.

If you know an active Steemian who could use a boost, please let me know in comments so I can put them on my list to be selected randomly.

Please note there is no guarantee of earnings. While my focus is on those in need, I am open to random acts of kindness.

This is a 50/50 post.

This post is not yet dedicated to a Steemian.

How can you help in the #payitforward initiative?

• Direct donation - send STEEM or SBD directly to the recipient.
• Donate proceeds from your post - Write a post. State your intention to donate to a person or cause.
• Upvote and/or resteem their content
• Share their post on your other social media
• Advocate for your community because one day you may need them.

I will create a separate post for payout tracking so you can have a record of what's been earned and given. I only have my integrity and my word; both which are very precious to me.
