Why I Should Win Lst Place

'Tis fairly certain that struggling bards such as this old bloke, Are seldom honored or make any money 'til after they croak! Ah, just the thought of the pleasure that it would bring, To nab First Place in Bobby's contest just for the honor of the thing! Entry for Bobby Mays' "I Am A Winner" Contest (2 March 2019)

G'day Bob … Deserved winner, but of course you are right. You have to croak before the money rolls in - thanks Bob - Lindsay P.S. We had to be evacuated because of the Bunyip bushfires. It was precautionary but all is fine.
