Bobby May Poet Free verse

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?
