The poem in question:

Ode to Waluigi, By Sam Daly
Oh, purple-moustached clever Waluigi.
Thou art such a genius when it is thy time to attack Mario and Luigi!
How thou attach springs to thy shoes, know I not!
Why dost thou not have thy own video fame?
Art thou enraged that thou dost not have one?
Why dost thou fight the Mario brothers?
Thou art negative and wicked when shooting fireballs at thy green plumber, thy foe!
Why art thou always cranky?
Art thy purple knickers in a knot?
Perchance Alvin Earthworm annoyed thou with his YouTube video.
Why art thou so tall and slim?
Perchance a Power Flower fell in you mouth when thou wast a baby.
Why dost thou wear a purple suit?
I like thy violet outfit for its unique hue.
Shouldst thy brother Wario and thou fight so repeatedly?
Is Bowser the Dragon-turtle your fiendish companion?
I dost wonder what it wouldst be like to be friends with Bowser and thou.
Dost thou own the Vicious Petey Piranha Flower?
Dost thou like the kind Princess Peach?
If thou couldst own a Yoshi wouldst thou?
Thou art so sly and crafty our slippery Waluigi.
Dost thou fight Geno the Explorer dangerously?
Why art thou not in Super Smash Bros Brawl?
Perchance thou art sad for being excluded from that rough game.
Why art thou so nimble when thou escape the police?
Thy symbol is an upside down L.
Oh, thou art sneaky, secretive and tricky, mine own Waluigi!

What she means is that the poem is not skillfully crafted enough to measure up to the grand purple enigma that is Waluigi.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, WALKAZO?

Yes, exactly right.

I mean, he screws up the grammar a couple times, and the only rhyming couplet is "Waluigi" and "Luigi", and there's almost no commas, and what does fighting Geno dangerously have to do with anything anyway: this is Waluigi's poem, dammit, not Geno's.
 
if something this bad won I wonder what the poems that lost were like

It is written by a fourth grader after all....
 
Daly will receive a $250 gift certificate to the bookstore of his choice for his efforts. He wasn't sure how he would use it, but said he might get an e-reader with the cash.
