Pav, just wait until I unleash my lyrical stylings on Impious, I think you’ll enjoy it.
Oughtist, what? I . . . what?
I’m not sure, Carleas.
I’m only half-sure that Oughtist voted me as winner!
I’ll be following this thing with you and Imp very closely, if I knew anything about rap, I’d have volunteered to judge.
Yes indeed, Pav, you technically won my official count. But remember you are only a winner, not the winner. And insofar as there were only two of you, that must imply that Carleas is a winner, too. Congratulations!! I hope to expand somewhat on this soonishly, but continue to continue to go on and on eking out my daily existence with direly low levels of intelligence and vitamin D at the moment. We just had another snowfall here. Winter will not leave. My brain is a shrivelled bulb waiting for the nourishing waters of spring…
Interesting.
Winter is the only time I get any real writing done.
Oughtist, I’m particularly interested in the distinction between the two kinds of the’s/a’s. Or is that “a distinction between a two kinds of a’s/the’s”? I don’t know. Also, Why?
Pav, I posted my rap, take a gander 
Already have done!
When I go, “View New Posts,” I go from bottom to top.
Anyway, your lyrics were strong and your rhyme scheme was excellent. You did a very good job in staying with the beat of the music.
Perhaps you should deepen your voice a little, though, when you rap. Even though the rapping itself was very good, you could tell it was a Caucasian Non-Hispanic individual rapping.
Debatable Thes didn’t include, for instance, “the sounds”, or “the many rhymes”, i.e. determinant indicators of a plurality; but included “the shortness springs” or “the old”, where it might be argued that there is more than one of such types. In that vein, it may be debatable whether, for instance, “the times” is debatable. A debatable A would be “a bridge”; a non-debatable A would be “a bit hard” (though that’s, perhaps, debatable). It’s good to have debatable As because it highlights how an a can do a the’s job; it’s bad to have debatable Thes because there are far too many of them in our language already.
Why?
Well, I hope to develop a meaningful answer to that question (independent of how it created a real easy means of judging for me… I’m a terrible, terrible ditherer 
). But here’s a basic overview:

Part of my manner of judgement, then, was to create a nonspecific result (whereas a tie would be a specific result).
Again, though, it’s been a long winter and my capacity is admittedly diminished…
