Try, Try

How can you connect four words?
Do you get serious, or absurd?

ENORMOUS - PUZZLED - STRESS - CAPTION
We'll take the first option.

An enormous animal in a photograph
Write a caption to make judges laugh.

That would be a nice contest
But it leaves out puzzle and stress.

Oh wait, that's puzzled don't get it wrong
Lyrics should be correct in each song.

This is a song? I thought it was a poem
Oh, one is like the other, if you know 'em.

So now we come to the next scenario.
A puzzled person, in Ontario

Feeling a lot of stress about a caption
While kids his enormous lap, shun.

Doesn't work, if you ask me
We should try option three.

An enormous caption, a headline
About a puzzled Valentine

Who was under a lot of stress
Whether to buy her a dress.

Ah, this is not working too well
And I'm starting to dwell

ENORMOUS - PUZZLED - STRESS - CAPTION
No poem to make, no tale to tell

So I'll just say, judges, bye bye
I meant it to be funny, but did I make you cry?
