On a Serious Award

by Allan Padgham   Aug 2, 2011


It's that time of the year when the phone rings
and a voice says it's Inger from Sweden.
Just sit quiet by the phone if you're home there alone
and put down that thesis your reading.

We've been pondering forever your field of endeavor
and all similar efforts are rated.
Well you've finally got to the top of the tree
and your rivals are all quite deflated

Yes your name has arrived at the head of our list.
Best invest in some formal apparel.
For you know that we call with the Nobel awards
and you know it's your turn in the barrel.

While there's huge adulation all over your nation
You'd better work on the speech you must make.
While we do supply drinks and the savory snacks
Please remember your bringing the cake.
