Competitions, quizzes,
In all the magazines,
Try to win a holiday or
Sports car of your dreams.
Answer silly questions,
If you don’t know just guess,
Then complete the following
In fifteen words or less.
Seal it, stamp it, post it,
Then sit back and wait,
Hoping your’s gets chosen
Before the closing date.
Someone strikes it lucky,
Who will the winner be?
One thing is for certain,
It’s never yet been me.
I’ve spent a mint on postage stamps,
Ripped labels off of tins,
Got all the answers right, I’m sure,
But my entry never wins.
Hang on – who’s this? – the postman,
I’ve won, well fancy that!
A years’ supply of cat food …
And we haven’t got a cat!
