the fat kids don't always win

i still have
the trophy from when i won
both the pie
eating contest
and the watermelon seed
spitting contest
on the 4th of July,
back in 1976.
i don't have the spitting
power
that i used to,
or the ability to consume
more than one pie
at a sitting,
so i no longer enter 
the contests.
but i enjoy them just the same,
and participate
as a judge.
it's not always the fat
kids who win,
by the way.
