1 | This line is the champion |
2 | This line’s the runner-up |
3 | This one and the next one made |
4 | The poetry champions’ cup |
5 | The fifth line’s rhymes have fallen short |
6 | The sixth line too missed out |
7 | The seventh and eighth lines never really |
8 | Were in with a shout |
9 | This line’s rubbish rhythm made |
10 | A mediocre season |
11 | This line started well but fell |
12 | For no apparent reason |
13 | Line thirteen blamed the referees |
14 | Line fourteen had bad luck |
15 | The fifteenth line was doing fine |
16 | Until those injuries struck |
17 | Below this line is doomed to play |
18 | In the second verse next year |
19 | The bottom lines had torrid times |
20 | Bringing up the rear |
