Did I win yet? I want my gold trophy!!! or just the points, I'm not picky.

-
What?? I thought you were a judge ....

Am I? Do I get points for that (secretly of course) like last time?

Okay, I need to go to bed, my eyes are starting to feel itchy. And I'm going to sleep on a bad note, I just watched one of the worst movies of all time. I like bad movies but Texas Rangers (2001) I wouldn't give such high regard as to call it a "bad movie", it's actually worse.
Imagine the most clichéd poem you've ever read - it's worse than that.
Good night (though it's 1:40pm in the afternoon)

After reading two more comments to my entry, it seems you should award me gold. Just end it now, break everyone's feelings, and award me gold.

I'm working on something for this contest.. but lol, I'm struggling. Hope to make it in time though.

Did I win, yet? You know mine's the best poem, I mean it's got everything you're looking for. Well, except being good but why judge it for that?
