We Don'T Need No Stinkin Contest

The world has woken up from slumber spring,
dogs barking, crickets chirping and birds sing,
from early morning to late eve the sun is shining,
and every cloud has a gorgeous silver lining.

Expressive hues of blues paint the sky,
welcoming the wildlife and hearts to fly.
Why do I refuse from this computer chair,
when my body longs for the life out there?

Addicted to these words and wins, I know
if there be a battle, it is I that must show.
A contest, a competition, I crave the glory,
a check mark win to be included in my story.

Looking out the window, I see inspiration bloom,
putting it into poetic lines from my bedroom.
Forming the right flow to take me to top prize,
the computer screen glows before my eyes.

Just a minute, just a minute, I can stop I say.
Maybe before the night, I can enjoy the day.
Check the winners status, may I boast?
Oh look.... another new contest to enter post!

Contest! We don't need no stinkin' contest.
I've already proved I'm the fastest pen in the west.
