Triple A

Without being too melodramatic As a rule it is axiomatic That finding a rhyme is problematic Or a mind that’s idiosyncratic But this plays out as melodramatic Regard for readers is altruistic Male poets must not be chauvinistic And contest winners less egotistic Such regard of self is narcissistic Making these statements is asseveration Speaking out so without reservation A deviation or aberration Not esteemed worthy of admiration This contest piqued my curiosity So, I’m drunk with my own verbosity!
