Winners Everyone

I have recently seen a contest 
Where everyone wins first place
It may to some seem pointless
No clear winner, in this race

But if you read each entry
And let the words digest
You'll find each one quite unique
And better than the rest

So, to the apple and the orange
I raise my glass to say
You're all Winners, to me
Especially those N/A's

Good poem Jerry. I agree with that. There can never be a clear cut winner. These type of contest should always be to encourage everyone and especially not discourage anyone. You make a very good point and I like the way you did it. you are one of many winners.....Robert.

Thank you Robert, having created contests myself, I know how difficult to judge a particle piece over another. I judge not, not to be judge, sure, Lol
