Oops I Did It Again

For the contest "Today I accomplished..."
A placing in the contest I wished
Ended up again with N/A
But what went wrong anyway?
I checked the date and looked over long
So I wouldn't get anything wrong
But I posted a wrong poem instead
And that's why "N/A"  it said
It's like writing History for Maths test
So I' m glad I didn't place in the contest.
