We Don'T Need No Stinking Contests

We Don’t Need No Stinking Contests

Contests! Contests! We don’t really need them!
Stupidness, silliness, it burns all my brainstems.

“Throw them out! To the archives do feed them!”
We’ll be better off, just enjoying to read them.

Judging judges with critical grudges,
My work is my art, not a platform for blunders!

Eat me, chew me, then repeat on reverse gear!
Who says I’m no good! When I could be the next Shakespeare!

“Contests! Contests! We don’t need no stinking contests!”
So, I win some, I lose some, nobody could careless!
“Yes, I’m Thee poet, because I know it”,
Now read my submission and let me show it!
