The 12th Annual POETS vs. MCs

The venue was packed,
And all that it lacked,
Was a seat and a view of the stage,
So we stood at the back.

Rosy Garrick & Hinsey Hines hosted,
And rappers, they boasted,
Showing off word skills and freestyling,
While others just toasted.

Best poem, with ease,
Was Chris Parkinson’s “Grammar Nazis”,
And while Poets and MCs,
Took a rowdy stance,
Unfortunately, we weren’t the target audience.

Yet the crowd made “some noize”,
(It was mostly the boys),
And the youngsters enjoyed their poetry,
While we went quietly home for some tea.
