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!!!
