The First Time

[calliopeva]

The first time you won, and the people were clapping
You were taking your bows, everything had gone great!
You had finally won! And so all were expecting
Your victory speech would be humble
and happy,
Thanking the judges
While saying next time,
You would be there in their ranks
To give thanks
to the people who didn't compete in that round,
who had won in the past and stepped up to the work
Of listening over and over and over
of judging as fairly as they could
But instead
But instead
But instead....

You said you would be too busy to judge
you had something else which had to be done
But you liedm didn't you?

You selfish jerk.

And another great SONG hits the LP!
And those who like Broadway all smiled
And those who did not- well, so what?
It was YOOOOOUR SONG!

You had time for a new song

Just no time to do what all others had done,
at least once in the past,
When THEY had won.
Just imagine that.
They won without even re-writing the rules, too.
Which are all still in place, I suspect.
I wonder if your rules
will help you to win...again.
And if you win, again
Will you once more be too busy to judge?
But not too busy to write some more songs
I mean...
You DO know that's wrong
Right?
