When Losing Means Winning

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Lessons from the Miss USA Pageant…

Two blondes comprised the final two.
North Carolina won,
but not before a Q and A
that left the viewers stunned.
 
Miss Tar Heel had a leg up
on her California clone.
The latter stuck her foot in mouth.
You'd think she would have known
 
that what she had to say about
gay marriage wouldn't fly.
But all the same she spoke her mind,
then watched her chances die.
 
Although she didn't win the crown,
she won my deep respect
for verbalizing godly views
increasingly suspect.
 
Miss USA will have her reign.
Miss California won't.
Do you think she regrets her words?
Perhaps you do. I don't.
