Poetry Slam Rap

A slam is a contest
To see which poet is the best.
The slammaster happens to be
The slams emcee.
The slammaster says hello real quick
And from the crowd five judges does pick.
If the judges aren't impartial
The slammaster they'll court-martial.
In a slam you'll see
Round 1, Round 2, and Round 3.
The poets names in a hat they place
The seven who are picked get a space.
Three minutes each poet does get
To do his or her set.
If you so choose
Your notes you can use,
But it would be wise
For your poems to memorize.
The poet gets on stage and starts rhyming
And the slammaster starts timing.
Your score you'll blow
If over three minutes you go.
You finish reading your poem, and then
The judges rate you from one to ten.
The three highest scores proceed to Round 2
The other poets, off the stage they shoo.
Since you got a real good score
You get to perform once more.
Once again the judges vote
On a poem that you wrote.
They take your score from Rounds 1 and 2
And combine them for you.
The two highest scores advance—
To compete in Round 3, they get a chance.
The slates they clean, and the winner will be
The high score in Round 3.

The rhymes are lame and the rapping is gay. Clearly this guy either did not practice or he has no talent, any way.

The fact is this, it is no lie.

I can't rhyme that bad, even if i try.
