In answer to your question, Simon, for the 2010 bouts rimés contest, The Oldie published one of mine which was not light or humorous.

I'll never forget how much trouble I had, however, trying to exchange the 25 pounds for dollars. My bank ended up charging me a large fee for the transaction, nearly as much as the prize! (I see Jayne has mentioned this problem in post #40.)
