Winner!

They Are the Champions

 
 

Last week, to coincide with my review of Queen: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of Rock by Phil Sutcliffe (Voyageur Press, hardcover, $40), I implored readers to compose a riddle about Queen or homosexuality in rock for a chance to win a copy of this fabulous book.

Reader and alibi.com commenter CDubs wins for scribing the following riddle:

There once was a Killer sound

Their style was profound and renown

The singer chugged cock—

And man, could they rock!

There once was a Killer sound • Their style was profound and renown • The singer chugged cock— • And man, could they rock! • They are the Champions pound-for-pound.

They are the Champions pound-for-pound.

An honorable mention goes to johnnyv who contributed this:

How does a Queen experience the universe? Upon a Mercury Rocket.

The clever CDubs wins a copy of the Queen coffee table book. Be on the lookout for new contests, and while this prize has been won, we welcome more riddles at alibi.com and, you know, in life in general.

    I can accept not winning, but , it would have been nice if a riddle as opposed to a rhyme had won.It is my understanding that a riddle is intended to pose a question or conundrum requiring consideration to resolve it.But, then again, YOU are the "literary geniuses" and YOU obviously get to exercise the rules as you see fit. thanks for the honorable mention, though.

    According to Merriam-Webster:

    1 : a mystifying, misleading, or puzzling question posed as a problem to be solved or guessed : conundrum, enigma

    2 : something or someone difficult to understand

    In the month of May

    A Taylor did alter

    The pants of a Deacon

    To better access his Mercury Beacon
