Winner Of The VITO VENDETTA POETRY CONTEST

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

If I win
so will you
there'll be no cement
in your new 
brown shoe

If I win,
you'll ding-a-ling
through the day
with fear
well on its way
out the door

But If I lose
you get to choose
—left or right—
which leg
gets broken
first

so all I need to say 
is
Have A Nice Day
🙈🙈🙈

    Either everybody wins or everybody loses, other contestants notwithstanding.
