Notes About The Poem

The Poetry Contest

The Poetry Contest
I'll tell you a tale, I'm sure you'll agree It'll interest those who write poetry A poets contest To find one who's best To go down in historic anthology. For the contest a massive hall was found Poets arrived in droves from miles around  Some flew in by plane  By boat others came  With great expectations of being crowned.  The first prize was a case of finest wine Poets revised their work so they'd sound fine Some went weak and freaked Others loudly shrieked All coveting the prize - juice of the vine.  First up was a Scot with the name of McNee He'd supped too much beer 'cos it was cost free Then his beer he spilt Wind blew off his kilt Thus his ‘endowment' the whole world could see. Next came Pam, like a glam model she dressed She breathed deeply and out popped her huge breast With thunderous roar Guys yelled out for more With an eyewink she said 'I am the best'.
