Eve Roper Poet Rhyme

We Don'T Need No Stinking Poetry Contests

“We don't need no stinking poetry contests.” 
There now I said it, I needed it off my chest.
I try to write something bright and elegant, 
but I forgot the other word for cross-dress. 
I seriously believed, I do confess,
I had the memory of an elephant. 
Now, if I enter your contest, 
are you going to award me another N/A. 
If so, why should I bother to enter your stinking contest 
for another N/A.

Carolyn Devonshire August 17, 2018 at 12:33 PM LOL Your poem gave me a much-needed laugh, Eve. Guess we all hate the N/A. Maybe it should be changed to A/B for also beautiful? Very clever! Love, Carolyn

Jerry T Curtis August 17, 2018 at 8:27 AM Eve I know your pain---I can't even make 100th in the hundred worst poets list. You write beautifully Eve.....And know this Eve,finding a synonym for the term 'Cross-Dresser' is really a Drag Best of Luck

Augustus Black August 16, 2018 at 6:14 AM Ha, ha, ha, I like the funny scene here..... I hope you won't get another N/A. Best of luck Eve.
