I don't think it needs an exclamation mark. It was going really well untill the last line, 'he is a winner!' just trivializes it I'm afraid.

by that argument, he is a loser also. unfortunately the dichotomy has been lost in the silly tone of the last line.

If they didn't contain completely different words, I'd say this was plagiarised from my epic piece "Enabled". -10-!!!
