vying for victory.  Only one could emerge the winner: here it is,
your very first Grand 2012 Limerick Competition victor!

WINNER! Graham Shorrocks, Memorial University of Newfoundland

There is a young Linguist List Crew,
That's asking for dollars anew;
So send your donation
Without hesitation,
Be it many dollars or few. 

Congratulations to Graham Shorrocks, poet laureate of the week!
This limerick will move on to the Final Round, and compete

of Round 2 today:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
