If you can put together a rhyme, do it now. Gulfport poets: This is your time to shine

You know him. That's Sam.
Gulfport's mayor Sam Henderson
Gulfport's poet laureate.

You could replace him.
Send your entries in today.
Or soon. Deadline's November.

Don't know if there's rules
about the rhyme schemes and such.
'Spect haiku will do.

'Twas a story in The Gabber
'Twas most certainly a grabber.
Inspired this rhyme
That, maybe, need wine.
Have another glass of caber -net

Clearly, the poets of Gulfport have nothing to fear from this corner of the world but the deadline's approaching (November 3) to submit your entry to be poet laureate of Gulfport. The position pays nothing but comes with all sorts of accolades. Just ask the poet mayor, Gulfport's second poet laureate or Peter Hargai, the first. Anyway, read the story at the link above and get your portfolio together. You may be a poet and don't know it.
