This particular round has been a source of constant hiccups, and yet, we come to the process of digestion.

I have read and re-read all the entries and have come up with a shorter shortlist this time.
In preparation for the random changes in prize distributions, this contest will have one winner from the poll, one from my personal choice plus a third random draw. I shall explain the random draw in the final post on Friday morning.

### The Voting
Please vote on the dpoll link shown in the footer of this post. You may, of course, adorn the comments section but only a radio button will count as a vote.
This Third Nonsense Writing Contest poll will last for about 36 hours from posting, taking us into the early hours of UTC Friday morning.
Voters, commenters, resteemers etc shall, as always be sprinkled with tokens, if I can find a post and if there are any tokens left. Using the #CC tag also means that every comment will receive a CC token.
### The Prizes
Each of the above six authors shall receive 2 MAXUV tokens, and the three final winners will get an extra 5 MAXUV tokens each.
### The Paying Attention Award

### And finally...
A huge thanks to *every* writer who has taken part.
There have been quite a few comments about these contests, some expressing similar ideas:
This isn't as easy as it looks;
This is great fun and a source of personal pleasure;
We are looking for crazy people.
In an age of universal mendacity, the truth sometimes has to be hidden, till the time is ripe, like a [terma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terma_(religion)).
Have a fine day!
