Pun Fun 2: The Results

Ladies and gentlemen, we have another winner! Topping the Fruit and Vegetable Pun Fun chart is...

C with "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Zucchini"

It became fairly clear after the early votes had been received that it was going to be a two horseradish race for first place between C and Rol with "I Yam What I Yam". In the end C took the win by a marrow margin.

She is far too modest to admit it but I think C may have had an inkling that she was in with a chance of victory. A couple of days before voting closed she sent me this original artwork (as some of you will know C is a very talented artist and illustrator).

I particularly like the use of peas to provide a sense of scale. A zucchini that is only seven peas long can truly be described as both itsy bitsy and teenie weenie.

C and Rol were not the only ones to submit quality produce. Here is the top five a day:  

1. Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Zucchini - Brian Hyland (C)
2. I Yam What I Yam - Gloria Gaynor (Rol)
3. Kumquat May - Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman (Mr F)
4. Sprout - Tears For Fears (Ernie)
5. The Aubergine Genie - David Bowie (The Swede)

I'm pleased with my fourth place although slightly disappointed that my tactical decision to choose a seasonal vegetable didn't bear more fruit. It was my third choice. I originally selected Rocking Sidney's "Don't Mess With My Mange Tout" but had to disqualify myself as that isn't the title. My second thought was "Baby Kumquat" by The Equals but I was worried about splitting the kumquat vote.

Many thanks to everyone who sent in an entry, and thanks also to those of you who did not but found time to vote. We jumped from 11 entries in Pun Fun 1 to 15 this time round. If numbers increase any further I may need to consider amending the scoring system so you can vote on your top five. Any thoughts on that let me know in the comments. 

The current plan is to announce the theme for Pun Fun 3 on Monday 12 January. Until then, we will hand over to The Intruders to deliver their tribute to C, followed by the man who made it all possible.
