Source: Edmonton Journal - Monday April 14, 2014 - took a
real-estate ad and changed as many nouns as possible using the first two
paragraphs from a sports article in the same edition. The two pieces are
re-typed below. I took some liberties when writing the poem; left out some
awkward numbers from the real-estate ad, made plurals out of singulars to make
the poem flow...I've heard Ouliposts are supposed to be about fun, so today, I
had some! (Should probably mention, the title is all mine...a plug for Crosby
to win the trophy!)

Captain kept Penguins afloat this season: Ask the NHL
rank-and-file to vote on the game's best player, and I'd say 70 per cent of
them would scribble C-R-O-S-B-Y.
But Sidney
Crosby, the superstar Pittsburgh Penguins captain, has one only one
most-valuable player award and he's been in the league since 2005.
How can that
be?You can throw out two seasons when Crosby had
his concussion issues in Pittsburgh and only played 21 and 41 games, but that's
still only one Hart Trophy in the other six seasons. Alex Ovechkin has three
MVPs and Crosby has one. There's something wrong with this picture.
The second stanza tickles me, Sharon.
