Participation Awards For Everyone

The best
contest,

so fun,
is one

in which
you ditch

all thoughts
that lots

of time
with rhyme

and with
real pith

will get
you set

to win
with pen

a note 
you wrote

to cheers 
from peers

because
it does

stand out
about

a theme
you seem

to state
with weight

and grace;
to place

with verse
perverse

or terse
or worse

instead,
ahead

of none
save one,

the guy,
who by

mistake,
did make

a goof,
and poof!

DQ
anew.

Surprise,
surprise,

all tries,
first prize,

upsized
with fries!

Big lol,
that's all...
