Just Because

Poetry contests are lots of fun they excercise your mind. I've taken part in quite a few it helps to past the time. Just Because I've entered I never expect to win. Even though I've wrecked my brain they always end up in the bin. But that does not deter me for I'm determined to get it right. It's becoming a irritating obsession that keeps me awake all night. But one day it will happen I'm going to steal the show. how is that you may ask I answer, Just Because I know.

Will do sister Beryl, maybe if there were a few contests regarding humour it might help.
