Competition seems like a fine idea
Healthy, and conducive to real progress
Ah, but there’s a test for gonorrhea
Let not the test, per se, the mind obsess;
Look instead for the chance to overcome
Each part of your current, risible self
Never fixate on the test’s mere outcome
Get on with it: the book’s not on the shelf
Each one that is can overcome itself

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.

You are a tank! I haven't even started yet...reading this on a break. I will have evenings. We'll see how much energy I have left over. Great title btw... gonorrhea, huh? Okay, okay, I will admit you sure did "get on with it". I'll muster up my own Scholarly Transmitted Draft soon!
That was quite informative
Oooo, I learnt a new word today, risible. Loved your Acrostic!
Wow it's a nice challenge.
