After a week of voting, with 5 out of a total of 11 votes, we have ourselves a winner for the June 2022 Poet Laureate Contest.
Join me in congratulating Donnee on their victory with MOO's Relief as well as commiserating Aersoldorf (My Burden Lifted) and Liberdon (The Realist)!
MOO's RELIEF
My chief belief is brief:
It concerns beef aperitif.
Its tragic motif sends chills up my teeth!
….Oh where, oh where! the relief?
You see Moo came from Sharif.
That was the name of the reef.
The cow was de-beefed as he grazed on a leaf!
….Oh where, oh where! the relief?
Now the thief his name was O’Keefe.
He’d sailed to the reef called Sharif,
Strapped Moo to a pole, drew a knife from his sheath!
….Oh where, oh where! the relief?
Moo went to pan once “asleep”.
Bay-leafed in place by O’Keefe.
I’m expected to feast on such a poor beast?
….Oh where, oh where! my relief?
(I really meant to be brief.
I’ve bored you beyond belief.
But now it can end, I’ll put down my pen,
….Oh now, oh now, your relief!)
The Poet Laureate contest will be back in October, so keep up the creativity, Islanders!
