No Account Poet
How he wanted a poetry prize!
But no luck after seventeen tries.
Seems if he's a poet,
then few to none know it,
And his ego has come down in size.
He wrote poems in all forms and types,
and attempted to earn legit stripes.
For his Vogon and Grook,
he got labeled a kook,
but the rest drew no praises or gripes.
He created a contest and then
took a second account for a spin.
With a new nom de plume,
there was finally room
for a top-of-the-leaderboard win!
