Winner Takes All.

Goldfinch60



I came,

I saw,

I conquered.

The balls flew

Across the lawn,

Through the hoops,

Beating my opponents,

Until one was left,

A good friend,

I beat him,

Won the tournament.

I came,

I saw,

I conquered,

And left

With the trophy.

    Good write Andy.
    I was about eight hours singing, but I didn't win anything!

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Orchi.

      I am not surprised, was anybody left there to hear you.

      Andy

    • Doggerel Dave

      Do you get your gold lettered name on the Wall of Fame in the club house, Andy? I really like the unabashed pride in your achievement you exhibit here.
      The form your poem takes definitely has trophy like qualities - that took hard work didn't it?

      • Goldfinch60

        I wish Dave, the members of my club did all congratulate me and some took me out for a pint.

        lol
        Congrats, Andy
        I'm guessing, you'll be having
        a weekend, with a spring
        in your step...

        • Goldfinch60

          I will be springing all weekend Mek. Thank you.

          Congratulations that man! Smug rights galore

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you SC,. Smug rights indeed.

            It’s a fallacy to believe we compete for the sake of playing, but rather we play for the sake of competing - so hurray for your win!

            • Goldfinch60

              True Suresh, when I am competing seriously I am a different person.

              Andy

              Good you you Andy. Keep on winning.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Trenz, I will always try to win but always be respectful if I lose.

                The champion we all knew you are Andy. 😉

                • Goldfinch60

                  Most kind AP, thank you.

                  Andy

                  Really much to meditate on - nicely penned.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Jon.

                    Andy
