Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Those Stinking Contests

Don't need no stinking contests you say,
          sure I know my poems are good;
but I do not want my words to decay, 
      and without a contest they would.
        Muse gone to sleep, with
        no words that weep;
          still I could, yes,
          could, and have less stress;
      to write a poem for a theme.
Oh, but writing for contests is a dream !
