Hey Stephen. Thanks for your participation in this contest! If I may add a word of advice, a grook poem typically doesn't mention specific individual's name's, because they attempt to be universal. For those who don't know who Edwin Starr is (like me) will unfortunately be left in the dark. Hope this helps! Keep writing.
