*This competition is now closed but why not take a look at the beautiful garden pod which is still for sale online and throughout our stores.

There once was a great competition
with a prize that created a frission
of excitement in all
that answered the call
to enter a rhyming submission
 
So, if you'd like to be sitting in style
in your own garden pod in a while
simply tell us in rhyme
before the closing time
using all of your wit, charm and guile
 
Just why YOU should be given this prize
causing envy and covetous sighs.
Then why not like and share
this so friends are aware
that they too could be taking their tries

Ok, we're certainly not Tennison or Pam Ayres, but we'd like to invite you to show off *your* poetry skills by telling us, in a poem, sonnet or limerick verse of 20 lines or less, why we should deliver a lovely Garden Pod worth £995 to your door this spring?

The pod is part of our 2013 range of garden furniture and is an absolute stunner, made in hardwearing PU Rattan effect material around a powder coated aluminium frame, which makes it suitable to leave outside all year round. It comes with showerproof cushions (scatter cushions shown are not included)

To help you get your hands on one, we asked our judging panel what they would be looking for:

Your entry should be in rhyme, no haikus, dactyls or ballads this time please!

We like to smile :)

There is no minimum length but make sure you don't go over the maximum - quality over quantity!

This competition has now closed.

This doesnt mean we won't be hosting another wonderful competition soon however! For now, why not check out our other ranges of dining room furniture and living room suites for your home whilst you wait and see how you could update your home?
