A Tongue firmly in cheek poem based on soup poetry contests

I can only agree with your sentiment Mister Lawless
Although I enter a few select contests nevertheless!

I know you’re discerning, and don’t show any bias
Yet with some sponsors wins they clearly deny us!

Some claim they judge blind, do they take us for fools
Buddies given top spots, they don’t follow their rules!

Regarding ‘no names’ once a sponsor soup mailed me
Saying ‘I could do better’ so my poem wasn’t top three!

I see crass decisions, syllable counts that are very wrong
A typo and poor rhyming, yet they still win a blinking gong!

What irks me is rhyming forms that have errors in the rhyme
Yet the sponsor declares the winning poem was totally sublime!

I take the risk with this contest, knowing I may get an n/a
If it doesn’t place I’ll put it in a ‘screwed’ contest one day!

For those who aren’t aware n/a stands for ‘not a chance’
Some even pull their losing poem in that circumstance!

I use contests to boost my creativity, I don’t enter every one
as it’s not the Nobel Poetry Prize when all is said and done!

I don’t need to enter every stinking poetry soup contest
Knowing many wins are fixed and MY poem was the best!

Contests!  We don’t need no stinking contests
