Fair Game

There is this guy of 'Poetry Soup' Fame
Ran a contest with 'I just can't win' Name
Because he will not count past three
Ninety seven losers there will be
Guess i will just have to be 'Fair Game'!

This is very sitty, Harry. I think sponsors sometimes limit the number of winners so that the losers don't feel bad. I just lost a contest with 28 winners and 35 entries. Joe's heart is in the right place. He just wants to award to best of the best. Really got a kick out of your limerick! Love and best wishes in the dontest, Carolyn
