Yes, my sentiments exactly.
If we were all seated at a long wooden table, I would have stood upon the table, proposed a toast, and launched into prosaic, drunken singing.
But somehow that seems raunchy (overly so). Instead, I will have to restrain myself and instead announce another... announcement in reference to the good taste all the members and judges were able to have with all this. I'll be singing quietly, though.

Ilan - Where's my sonnet, hmm? Heh, thanks for the lovely comments.

At first I took it as a joke, and this time I take it the same way, but I'm now taking it as a challenge. I can't promise a swift completion, but I can promise I will return with it eventually.

Hello all! Wow...I was first?! YAY!!!
This fable thing was by far the hardest thing I have ever written, so thanks to Aevin for thinking it up! lol, I'd like to thank the judges for all of their hard work. You guys are awesome! The comments were great to read; I saw a lot of things that I'm gonna work on.
I would add a little comment thing for each judge, because I really appreciate your comments, but I'm still shy/nervous and seriously don't know what to say.  I started, and then stopped, lol.
But I will say,
gohn: I was not going to let Squirrel freeze! lol...what kind of moral would that be, I wonder?
daniela: My paragraphing was off? I shall have to ask you about that privately, because that's bothering me now!
I'd also like to thank everyone who congratulated me and congrats to the rest of the top 5! Bring on the next one!!!

Thanks to all the judges!—you affirmed what I thought. I'm not a big fan of the whole blatantly putting the point at the end of the piece, and the result was something far too subtle and open to interpretation to pass off as an actual fable... Oh well.
The judges should all get cookies.

My thanks to all the judges for their time, and congradulations on the sucess of this session (for lack of a better word).
Unfortunate that I ended up so close to last this time around, but hey, someone had to be there! I'll just wish myself better luck for next time.

Thanks to all the judges for taking the time to do their thang.
After I posted my fable I realised that the moral was a tad incredibly obvious, but decided to leave it. It seemed that some of you liked it and some... didn't. I wish I had checked for small errors better. I always check for small errors. Oooh well.
Daniela, this was writting by just me. Me being Ben.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Thank you Judges for your time and effort. I hope to place in the top five next time we have a chance to cross pens. I enjoyed reading all the entries as well. Good Job Lonewolf! Looking forward to seeing you all write again in the future.
