Space Western limerick contest-winners

Nathan sez, "SpaceWesterns.com just announced the winners of a Space Western Limerick contest.

The contest was judged by Jane Espenson (Firefly, Battlestar Gallactica), Keith R.A. DeCandido (novelizations for Serenity, Star Trek, etc.), and Gary Trainer (song-writer for the Jet Black Berries 'Sundown in Venus' album, and The Atomic Swindlers)."


There once was a cowboy whose horse,

Had the power to leap with great force,

Into space she would jump,

Then the cowboy would slump,

As he died in the vacuum, of course.

-- Larry Hodges


Lament of the Alien Dance Hall Girl


A barmaid from Nerus Omega

once mourned in her sea-swamped bodega,

"If we fishfolk had feet

my life might be complete --

I'd cancan from Rigel to Vega"

-- Marcie Lynn Tentchoff
