SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Dull Men of the World Unite -- LONDON (Reuters) - Now there's a Web site for the man who has everything except a life. Promising to free its readers from the pressures of trying to be "in and trendy," www.dullmen.com reviews dull books, tells dull jokes and lists dull events for every month of the year.  "In March, we like to watch maple trees during sugaring time.  Sap dripping just right to watch -- the right pace, the right suspense," suggests the site run by the U.S.-based National Council of Dull Men.  Laid out in shades of grey, black and white, it also offers a test with questions like "Do you like to watch airport luggage carousels?" and "Do you like English food?" to help readers find their true selves.

The Ballad Of Graham Gray by Bradypus

Graham Gray awoke one morn
And rose up out of bed
Grey thoughts already passing through
His grey and hoary head
He looked out of the window
And pleased he was: On high 
A grey sun shining through grey clouds
And grey birds in the sky.

He dressed himself in suit of grey
Grey shirt, grey underwear
And with a dull grey comb he combed
His dull grey unkempt hair
The bread for breakfast it was grey
Grey coffee and grey ham
And on the toast what was to spread
But grey grey-pfruit jam

Then off to work our Graham did drive
His car was dull and grey
He parked outside grey office block
Up grey stairs made his way
He sat down at his old grey desk
Switched grey computer on
Opened grey mail, made calls upon
An old grey telephone

His grey work done he found a place
Where grey folk go for fun
To spot grey trains. He spotted two
And then his fun was done
Home again for food all grey
The TV black and white
In grey pyjamas Grahan retired
To grey bed for the night

Such is the life of Graham Gray
Grey literature, grey art
Grey family to wish him well
Grey love in his grey heart
Does music enter Graham's grey soul
To lighten up his days?
The blues are much to bold for him
He much prefers the greys.
