Thursday 8 October is National Poetry Day!
So in true poetic spirit we'd like you to give us your best shot at a MoneySaving ditty.
Whether you're into limericks or haikus, sonnets or ballads, join in and write us a little something.
We'll share our favourites on the @MSE_Forum
Need some inspiration? Check out the efforts from 2013 and 2014 .
Happy composing
(P.S. we're putting this on the Marriages board intentionally - have fun!)

When we announced
The imminent arrival of another
Daughter wanted a sister, son wanted
A brother
- And little one wanted
A pig.
When they first met him,
grunting and squeaking
And greedily sucking
The cry went up
"Why does little one
Always get
His Own Way?"0 -

Poetry is a doddle
It really is a breeze
Unless your poem's on paper
Then make sure you don't sneeze.
Poetry is such fun
You really can't go wrong
If you find a brilliant pun
It really doesn't take long
Poems are a lovely way
To make all your friends laugh
Just make them funny not dodgy
So you don't make them barf!

When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on

I was hoping for some competition! I dont know what is wrong with this lot? You give them something fun to do which challenges their creativity and they show no interest
Come on you lot, dont be so boring! Its only poetry, its easy0 -
Tips and advice naughty and nice
Do you need to snowball your debts ?
Or just looking for advice on your buy to lets ?
PPI, SOA They can all be done the MSE way
Cheap loan rates or entertaining your mates
Affairs of the heart or the car won't start
Somewhere on the site is advice to put you right
Parking tickets and flight delays
Vouchers and flash sales so many ways
To make your cash last many more days
So log right in and grab a pew
MSE will have some moneysaving ideas for you.

Christmas is coming and you are probably spending too much
But you wont be the only one it always happens as such
You spend what you think you need to and what you will
and after Xmas you will need to pick up the bill
But fear not my old friend help is always to hand
From Martin Lewis's forum and his loyal users band
They are a good bunch of folk and are your best bet
With good sound advice to help with your debt
First tell us what has happened and how you got there
Be honest and be brave and promise not to swear
They will ask some questions and for your statement of affairs
By this they mean financial not the other I'm sure your aware
Once you have done this, help will come directly your way
From lots of nice people to keep your worries at bay.
They will suggest ways to cut back to help your financial state
Never fear they won't help you because it is never too late
In months to come you will see your finances change
Not being in so much debt will feel somewhat strange
If you help yourself and take advice from these kind folk
you will see for yourself that you are no longer broke
Get yourself started and type those thoughts in your head
Go on, take the first step and start a new thread
I know you won't regret it because I have seen it before
Take their good advice and be in debt no more**3.36 kWp solar panel system, 10 x Ultima & 4 x Panasonic solar panels, Solaredge Inverter **Biomass boiler stove for cooking, hot water & heating **2000ltr Rainwater harvesting system for loo flushing - **Hybrid Toyota Auris car **1 ex-battery hen - RIP Pingu, Hoppy & Ginger ****Hens & Ducks**** chat thread. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=52822090 -
