2019 TFK Poetry Contest(比赛；竞赛)

Call all poets! Time for Kids has a challenge for you: write a funny, rhyming poem. It must be an original poem that does not copy another poet’s work. Enter the Time for Kids Poetry Contest! As fewer and fewer children are interested in writing poetry of their own, Time for Kids decides to organize and sponsor such a contest to change the situation.
