please don't give me any prizes

[betteroffbad]

please don't give me a nobel prize
prizes are for phonies
i wish you would not categorize
my work with such jabronies

i do not want a pulitzer
i hork on the man booker
i would feel deeply insulted sir
and treated like a hooker

don't give me a macarthur grant
please keep your bakeless prize
you think I'll like it but I shan't
it's garbage in my eyes

all prizes are a giant scam
that useless scrubs perpetrate
upon those stupider than I am
go on, try me! it's not too late
