All Yours
Sometimes I sit and contemplate
Did I enter way to late
Other times I’m forced to think
Was it good or did it stink
Late I night it’s on my mind
Was it not one of a kind
Maybe the subject was just not right
or I overused the word goodnight
I read the directions yet again
Grab a paper, pick up my pen
I start to write and then I edit
I will not just say forget it
“All Yours” my arch-nemesis
Like years ago Sega Genesis
I will not quit there’s no defeat
I’ll write till my work’s complete
and you know what? If I don’t win
I’ll enter the contest yet again
The sponsor’s tough, yeah I know it
He will not defeat Nurse Evi, I am the poet!!!
