The 1st of the 1st

The First Annual Poetry Soup Convention Contest I am not convinced where this Convention should be I was thinking my house but the soup bowls are not free Then I thought about Vegas but England would not agree We could all go to Switzerland it’s a Neutral Country Canada is to far for those who live in Japan let alone Hong Kong Isle of Man has to many men and only one poet to meet I would suggest Mexico but the wall is to tall to climb Peru sounds nice but I heard they have mice Sweden sounds good and it does sound pretty sweet Turkey has to much stuffing and it won’t be thanksgiving Singapore seems to be out of tune if it’s held in June Netherlands is far, far away and it’s to close to Never land United States won’t let anyone in The only place left is The Virgin Islands should be the choice, I wonder why?
