You know, it's just a thought, but if you'd sign up for a technorati account you could put a "search this blog" box on the sidebar, and then you could just enter "Virginia" and it would give you all the posts that mentioned it. Might make your life easier when it comes to re-finding these challenge poems.
Erin pointed out that the words 'Virginia in a box' had to be in the poem. I finally found the original post yes, she's right. I will just have to withdraw mine unless those words magically find a place. We'll see.
Vacuum tubes and ham radio Invariably get a laugh, just as Roses in a wrist corsage, sloe Gin fizz, and post-date de-briefing In the late night diner raise Nostalgia to cinematic proportions. I prefer morose, melancholy brooding About adolescent failure of nerve.
In my experience, No experience was the rule.
And this was not a matter of principle.
Boys who thought only of sex, only thought of sex. Oral sex was a myth. And X might as well have marked a topographic spot.

I'm sorry Pris, I didn't mean to make a stink. I thought I was the one who misunderstood the requirements of the challenge.
