### In Round 3 @pipiczech took the meme contest with this winner, which provided the inspiration for our poetry in Round 4.

Round 4 was incredible this season! I'm not sure if I have ever seen so many poems entered! It was a lot to look through, and many amazing entries were available for me to pick from. Legendary  wordsmiths like @verbal-d and @clayboyn penned their prose and a lot of new entrants scribed their stuff. In the end, though, I had to choose *only one* for the win...

## <center>SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE - BY @macksby</center>

-------------
Bowing at his feet
kneeling in his presence
his secret of success
is the power of his essence

no need to complicate
the steps that you must take
just grab a few more peppers
and.., shake, shake, shake!

the power it delivers
one cannot mistake
so do the papa pepper
and.., shake, shake, shake!

So if you want that steem
that trending viral post
just listen to the master
and add some to your roast

the more you add the better
even lil'peppers know
like watering the plants
you'll watch your wallet grow

hot ones, sweet ones
as much as you can take
just do the papa pepper
and.., shake, shake, shake!!!
