Oops I Did It Again

For the contest "Today I accomplished..." A placing in the contest I wished Ended up again with N/A But what went wrong anyway? I checked the date and looked over long So I wouldn't get anything wrong But I posted a wrong poem instead And that's why "N/A" it said It's like writing History for Maths test So I' m glad I didn't place in the contest.

LOL, stop doing it then...Oh, I'm kidding. I hardly join. I once thought I entered a contest, then later saw it was never in the contest I thought I submitted the poem too. It happens to the best of us. Nandita, now I got that song on my mind. Oops!...I did it again I played with your heart, got lost in the game Oh baby, baby <--lyrics from oops I did it again.... :) Enjoyed. LINDA

Your poems are winners whether they get into a contest or not. I haven't done this, but then I really don't enter contests. Something about rules and deadlines just makes me drag my feet.

Glad you like it. It's true. I got N/ A before for not entering the date. So this time I checked that I had the date and everything right. But then I went and entered some other poem on Nature in this contest. Yesterday I checked and got to know my blunder...hahaha..:). Thank you for your nice comments. Makes me feel so good. Thank you.
