I wrote this for someone's stupid contest

Just letting off some steam

Great poetry is depressing
That's why my poems suck
I'm either pissed off or funny
So my a*s is outta luck

I wrote this for some contest
I'm never gonna win
Maybe if I blow the judges
That'll give me an in

It's called depressing poetry
For verses oh so sad
I'll enter their f*****g contest
and make the judges mad

My girlfriend's real pissed off at me
So she's not putting out
If that's not enough to bring ya down
What else have I got

Ya know this Monday's Veterans day
and I'm a bloody Veteran
We were deployed to lovely Iraq
When they went sectarian

Don't worry pookey I'll spare details
Maybe another time
If that's not enough to be depressing
This is my last rhyme

Author's Note

If I don't win I at least hope not to be blocked by whomever's contest I'm desecrating

The ideas are depressing and your delivery is humorous. I don't think you'll be blocked, mainly since you've offered this up:

I wrote this for some contest
I'm never gonna win
Maybe if I blow the judges
That'll give me an in

You should enter this in a "dual diagnosis" contest. ; )

While the poem itself isn't necessarily depressing in my eyes, it talks about some very depressive things that I think we're worth the read themselves. Nice job, Mark, with some great rhymes in this one
