the injustice of absurd challenges

the grumbling limerick duo, because we know the game backwards; if you’re in this, like me, you’re concerned too

whoever has little will be taken from him

whoever has much, more will be added to him

this is a word to all of you, readers, writers, judges, I mean, look at the pattern

who won will win again, it does not matter

what you just wrote, dude, the name of the former winner will tell you all that dim whim

---

like these plants in the picture –

some wallow in glamour

bathe in the sun, while others have to satisfy

themselves with the reflection of the light coming from the butterfly

regardless of the own internal parlour
