We Don'T Need No Stinking Contests
The treasure of a placement, the thrill of a win
"But we don't need no stinking contests," he said with a grin
Poetic gems soon lost their shine
Becoming dull and undefined
"We don't need no stinking contests," he said with a smile
As inspiration diminished after a while
Poets no longer needed to compete
Their muses have vanished, the 'agony of defeat'!
"We don't need no stinking contests," he said with a sigh
As he realized things had gone awry
The treasure of a placement, the thrill of a win
And then he shouted "Let the contests begin!"
