Most entries are going to be E rated but some may go beyond that.
You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest ChallengeOpen in new Window. will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

A long time ago I went to church as a young girl. One of the first songs to learn was Jesus Loves Me. Only I sang Jesus rules me instead for the first month. The other children laughed and made fun of me for my singing and the teacher constantly repeated Jesus loves me instead. I just couldn't figure it out since none of the other children were willing to correct me.

When I read the words though it became clear I had misheard the song. I had to sing Jesus loves me instead of Jesus rules me. If only I had heard the words correctly and was able to sing it right. It would have saved being teased over such a simple song. Jesus does rule but that wasn't what the song was about.

I consider this to be my most embarrassing time of my life. Who could misunderstand the lyrics of a simple song? Well, I am one of those people. I won't ever forget my most embarrassing moment of time. What could be ever more embarrassing?

It's Christmas in July
Peppermint is on the table
Chocolate is ready to serve
Cold on the inside, hot on the outside

It's Christmas in July
Eerie silence all around
Joy of presents to unwrap
Decorations hung and lit

It's Christmas in July
Snow is spread on the ground
Quickly melted by the heat
Barbecue weather on the grill

It's Christmas in July
Celebrated by certain cultures
Maybe snowing maybe sunny
Still a gift to share for all

Prompt: Christmas in July
Peppermint, chocolate, cold, eerie, joy
