We Don'T Need No Stinking Contests
We don’t need no stinking contests,
ones in which I can suppose
of the form we’re asked to write in
that the sponsor little knows.
Sometimes sponsors give us rules.
In the end, there is no doubt
that they simply disregarded
major rules they had spelled out.
We don’t need no stinking contests -
wherein every entrant’s fate
is N/A while just one winner
is an entry not so great.
I do not expect perfection
from the sponsors, for I know
it’s not easy judging contests.
Fairness many sponsors show.
Thanks to sponsors who inspire us
with a word or a phrase. Indeed,
I’ve few complaints; there’s just one thing:
no stinking contests do we need!
