Wisdoms Plight


You should always be a good sport,
Is a phrase we often use
But of course to prove you are one
I'm afraid you have to lose

Brilliant Bob, accepting a negative results upon one's self is proof of the higher reign of the inner essence of the true moral self. Congratulations on a worthy first place entry. Thanks for your support of my contest! Agape, Moses
