Final

13) The Real Number One

Greece 2005

Original title: My Number One

 

My friend NickD
With his genie
Has already won this contest if you ask me

Lasting treasure
Beyond measure
Is what he created and it gave me pleasure

I am striving
Even hiving
There’s no point of trying, might as well forget it

But his timing
Was not rhyming
Had he only waited he would not regret it

He is the one
The real number one
The only winner of ALC
He is the one
He’s my number one
I’ll ask Harrow if I really have to vote

My friend NickD
With his genie
Has already won this contest if you ask me

Late one evening
Not surprising
“On page number one” was written, it was moving

His great talent
That I haven’t
Is impossible to outshine, I give up now

Can he teach me?
Please believe me
He’ll still be my hero on the cemetery

I’m glad Mary
From the dairy
Could afford to buy a rhyming dictionary

He is the one…
