Premiere Contest WinnerWe Will Party Like Theres No Tomorrow

While all in Munich ready for the festival,
Ecstatic was the atmosphere surrounding the town.

Wanderers from around the globe shall appear,
Italians will come in their droves to be here,
Lucky the Germans that live in the mountains,
Lost in the spirit that runs through their veins.

Potential youngsters that have reached the age,
All keen to partake in the ritual theme,
Relish we shall on the arrival of all,
Time will stand still for the time of your life,
Yielding a stein in each hand as we go.

Lips glued to glasses in sweet melody,
It's time now to party in Munich of course,
Kinsmen or not all are made welcome,
Each fellow slapping his hand on his knee.

Travelers come from as far as Australia,
Here they all come for their fill of beer,
Essentially all here for one thing in mind,
Reminded by memories from last time around,
Either you join in or get left behind,
Skulling competitions upon every table.

Netherlands on one side, Austria the other,
Old and young shall join in as one.

Tonight is the night of this marvelous event,
Oodles of beer will be flowing so freely,
Man and woman alike shall be drunk all night,
Or at least have a good time trying,
Relying on our might to pull us all through,
Religion is here in the shape of a beer,
Opinions aside, there's just one thing in mind, and
We will party like there's no tomorrow.

A well written acrostic, Rick. Topic aside, this is what a winning poem looks like. Congrats, my Aussie friend. That trophy looks pretty cool next to your name. Hope you have many more wins in the pen. Love always, bruh.

Yeah, thanks, RW. I think only a few entered this contest, I don't think I'll enter many more in the future unless I'm bored or something grabs me about it. But it was a nice feeling to win. /|\

This was great Rick, really. I tried to write one for this contest and failed miserably and now I'm glad I did, because I wouldn't have stood a chance against yours. Really nicely done, very festive and it mentions beer, so what's not to like about that?
