Daily Monopoly Game
Contest rules, only one, enter whatever you like.
No prompts or specs, some would call that lazy.
A dictatorship, just a bit like the third reich
disabling comments on both sides, first strike.
Winners chosen by whatever the sponsor wants.
Room for skims, scans, and glances – it’s crazy.
What of reading, deliberation and careful response?
Control via nonchalance, strike two he vaunts.
Roughly, thirty-five “reads” that is, on a good day;
participation is always good, fill-ups are fast.
"Judging's" even faster, if you notice, by the way
it’s a Monopoly craps game, many of us choose to play.
I cannot speak for others, but here's my view
nothing ventured; nothing lost; nothing gained.
A poem's well-being does not rest with one "Yahoo!"
or if you please, on the other hand, with one DQ.
