I fell asleep in my chair
when reading my book
and then wandered off
to dream like I should.
I was surrounded by poet's
from long down the year's
who had entered a competition
amongst their peer's.
There faces looked ragged
by times beating clock
and all had been waiting
for the results of this comp.
I laughed as they told me
how they all ended up
being caught on this page
that a Ted E Bare dreamed up...
