Entered
Another
Of those
Tempting
Contests,
And
Unable
To rest
Until I
Heard,
Waited
For
Word.
Back
It came,
Saying
My work
Was
Dreadfully
Lame.
Rather
Than
Address
My ills,
The
Judges
Preened,
And
Displayed
Their
Writing
Skills.
In my
Tiny
Sample,
(Not at
All ample,)
They
Decided
I should
Be
Callously
Derided.
I climbed
Up
From
My pain,
And read
The
Comments
Again.
Those
Ladies
Got my
Humble
Song
All
Wrong!
Confused
Names,
Facts,
And
The
Plot.
Oh,
They
Missed
A lot.
I was
Soon
Able to
See
They were
No
Smarter
Than me.
These
Contests
Are a
Quick way
To
Raise
Chapter
Cash,
But mostly
Give
Hopeful
Souls
A hefty
Bash.
I got
No
Writing
Tips,
Just their
Foolish
Quips.
So
I am
Sore.
No more
Contests
Will see
My
Name,
I’m
Done
With
That
Game.
And
That’s
A shame.
