Day of the Poet © Tony Fallon 112417
Tomorrow morning early I have to get up and dressed
And then drive up to Colonie for a poetry contest
The day is run by a famous poet named Brian Dorn
Who will be at the Library since very early morn
To enter the competition there is no entry fee
And the winner goes home with the CapitaLand Trophy
The audience at least last year was very attentive
And for the readers, there is a cash prize incentive
The Library room will be set with the best of sound
And in the room we read in the champion will be crowned
There will also be an Open Mike for all the nominees
To get us all settled down to get us all at ease.
When that segment is over the reading will begin
And everybody will try their best to go out there and win
There will be two rounds of reading before the cup is won
But if too many should apply there will be only one
I do not envy the judges as they go about their task
I hope I don’t see any of them drinking from a flask.
