Yes, be a winner at something in life
you’ll see the winners in others.
Walking by you’ll all nod your heads,
you’ll be among winner brothers!
It doesn’t matter what- nose-picking, chess,
just as long as it’s something you’re better at than the rest,
and as long as you receive due recognition for it-
so you'll need to get a publicity agent!
I see some winners here, yes I do,
so for them to be winners, I now must lose!
But happy I’ll be, for them, then for me,
because the leaves are growing on my winner’s tree!
So chewed up and spit out this poem will be
barfed on the page for all to see!
Yum, I made the biggest mess on the screen...
did I just win the gross-out trophy?
Success is a dream for most of us
failing is so often the outcome, I trust;
so jump up and down when someone wins
that’s when the real fun begins!
Because, you see, in our fantasies
it is we who are the winners on TV!
We pat our heads and rub our tums
and show the whole world that we’re number one!
Well, got to go now, my work is done
I’ve been such a smart aleck, I now must run,
for my AP mother this contest did host
and for writing this farce, she’ll beat me with toast!
Bye! Must run. She's here again,
I'm at 30 lines now, and it's 4am!

Just love that off the wall sense of humor.
Thank you for making me laugh on such a gloomy day.
It helps to keep my spirits in the clouds as they should be.

I had to read a poem after giggling through your author's page. This one is great and kept the smile going. Too good.... (I noticed that Porcelain Doll is either a daughter or a soon to be daughter...she is great. She's my student in the real world. Grins.) Write on, poet.

So that's what you were doing last night. Lol. Trying to become a winner in your mother's contest with this great piece of poetry.
One thing is sure: You are a winner in making me laugh. Satisfied Wayne with this prize?

Very funny write Dad! This really made me laugh. Is it best to be the winner in nose-picking?! And love the way you ran away at the end, wrapped up this piece nicely. Great job Dad!
your laughing AP daughter

Very clever and very humorous as well, well I can see I am beat. Another contest we entered together, but you are a great talent. I love the lighthearded, funny, very human way you describe "Winner", Loved it. Perfect rhyme and flow. Made me smile reading it. It's a winner!!!
