A Trophy

Do we measure someone’s value
By their trophy’s size
Be it an Oscar, an Emmy
Or even a Nobel Prize

A Heisman Trophy
Will make you a lot richer
And you get an Oscar
If you’re in the right picture

The N.F.L. has a silver ball
For the owner of their team
Hockey has a Big Cup
That disappears every year in between

If you get a “Grammy”
And I hope that you do
Don’t let anyone else
Take it away from you

Then there’s the “Tony”
For an outstanding play
I don’t live in New York
So it doesn’t matter, anyway

Miss America gets a crown
For being a beautiful girl
But only if she prays
For “Peace in the World”
