Talent Contest Poem by Tom Billsborough
Talent Contest
He couldn't sing.
He couldn't mime,
Sitting in his Dalek Frame
Dressed like Davros from that show,
Doctor Who, I'd have you know!
Somehow he'd crept through all auditions,
Clearly helped by weird decisions.
In ten long years I've seen no worse
Except perhaps this ‘ere verse.
All the Judges buzzed him off.
The audience began to cough
As silence rent the Music Hall.
It was a moment to recall.
When voting viewers called the line
They firmly placed him ninth of nine!
You catch the nervousness and humiliation of being last in a talent contest in muscular heroic couplets. I know the feeling.
It was one of Simon Cowell's shows. Can't remember if it was the X Factor or Britain's Got No Talent, as we call it. I mean I can't sing but this guy had got through to the Final stages. There's hope for the rest of us!

btw: favorite lines: Clearly helped by weird decisions. In ten long years I've seen no worse Except perhaps this ‘ere verse. :))))))))))))))))))
I think someone with a funny sense of humour put him through, someone really evil! Could have been me or you, Bri. He certainly made up for the mediocrity of the other contestants!
