I Just Can'T Win- Nobody Wins

Member contest scores on Poetry Soup Have me completely confused My first contest; I thought I’d won first place Comments I read, gave that news When I viewed the actual contest results Looked for name on the top It wasn’t there; it was fifth on the list Multiple winners should stop To make things worse, I received some comments About a contest I tried Got Congratulations on my placement Thirty four of thirty five? Why not just list the poems in order First place is truly first place There is no need to have twelve number ones Not winning is no disgrace Of course this is one person’s opinion I may be totally wrong And I’m sure it will make no difference I just had to sing my song
