Poem Title:
Poem
I'll tell you a tale that's full of intrigue, of a great singing contest that is in the first league. Hosted by Sweden, the teams all appeared, and the music and vocals were loved and revered. Countries had voted, their acts were the best, and they carried the honour at this musical fest. Glitter and glitz was the name of the day, and the ladies excelled themselves, I really must say. Each act did perform, watched by millions, agog and each sang their heart out, trying to be the top dog. Some songs were great, and others not so, but diversification is the name of the show. Australia was leading being way out in front, 'til the peeople's vote changed, the whole battlefront. Positions were moving with frightening speed, as countries spoke out what their folks had decreed. The favourites were lagging, the outsiders stormed through, and poor Britain was left towards the end of the queue. Russia was beaten, against all the odds, as the mid europeans went against them in squads. It's over again, for another long year, but the joy of the winners brought many a tear. Ukraine had the song that's the new figurehead, But politics again, reared its ugly old head.
