 First place fool

Second place mate

Consolation prize –

Too little too late

A trophy on the wall may fall

But it doesn’t speak

And it doesn’t call.

Shaped, glazed

Fired to a shine

Toppers of long-locks or curls

Plaques of two months, four, six, some nine

A trophy on the wall may fall

But it doesn’t bounce

And it doesn’t crawl.

A few steel

Some brass

Crystal edging

Mostly glass

A trophy on the wall may fall

But it breaks

And when shattered

It’s just no good at all
