QUID PRO QUO

   
 

Something for Something

 
 

 By: Dottie Kidman

 
   

I feel compelled to protest

At the absence of a contest

For a feedback that's the best

Each month the winner must pass the test
VCO's weekly give away lacks incentive.
No requirements, you can be inattentive.
Give us a reason to rhyme
We might come up with something sublime
Encourage us to tell our story
When we were in our glory
Or something we can learn
Like a worldly concern
Something worthwhile
Something to make us smile

We all have a yarn we can spin

If we lose, we can take it on the chin
Come on VCO
We're helping you grow
Cough up the dough
Quid pro quo

Something for something

Ya never know...give it a fling
Give us a monthly theme
Have your readers choose the one that's supreme
I wanted to send in a crossword
But thought you'd think it absurd
Creating it about Vegas was very tedious
I was beginning to feel like a wuss
Maybe one day I'll finish it and submit
Have it admit it was full of wit
One clue was: "Where Ricky Ricardo played"
The answer was: "Tropicana" ..see from Vegas I haven't strayed
Not looking for compensation
Nor for remuneration
Just a friendly competition
In your Friday edition
A monthly category winner, one for feedback one for a rhyme
Try it out sometime.
