Poem for humorous poetry contest
CHEATER'S NEVER WIN

They say that cheater's never win
I know it must be true
I read it on the internet
I wouldn't doubt, would you?

Mother said I must be fair
Not win by crude foul play
Because if I broke any rules
A loser I would stay

My teachers always said to me
You must do your own work
If you copy other's things
You'll end up one big jerk

And so I never break the rules
Except for income tax
And maybe on the interstate
With speeding I get lax

I never ever cheat at golf
I just can't count say I
I wouldn't cheat at dieting
If that scale didn't lie

And so those cheaters never win
It's simple, plain, and neat
But please recall I never said
That winners never cheat!
