To the Contest Losers - a Been

Been is pretty special it really means you can. Almost really better, than Was, or Is, or When! Been is almost priceless, like jewels stored in a Then. Been is just the nicest, You'll always have a friend! If you keep trying to Is, by Golly, Gee, Oh Whiz! You really might become a Was, no one will think you ever Does! If you just be a constant Are, you might think that you're the star! I guess I'd rather be a Been, that's when I think I'll know . . . I AM!
