Grand Prix

 

The seed of greed is sown again                                                 

Antique or unique, that’s the name of the game                                  

degree by ever increasing degree                                                

desire fuels the hedonistic spree                                                 

All eyes on the Grand Prix                                                             

 

The Big Prize - Surprise surprise                                                         

Eyes wider than wide - at The Big Prize                                     

 

One time related ancestors told the story                                            

two timing suffocated contesters vie for glory

there is a mean streak

the inevitable green streak

running through cast and crew

turn up their noses, tut at the tat

awaiting proposes well, how about that.

 

The Big Prize - Surprise surprise                                                         

Eyes wider than wide - at The Big Prize 

 

All eyes on the Big Prize

 

Under the hammer, going for a song

Oh what a prize lot I’ve got my eyes on.

            

The innocent silky milky maid                                                            

the not so innocent uncouth youth

the spinster peeking through hands amazed

and the widower seeking the expert truth

 

Is it fake or is it antique                                                                       

Pastiche or fantastique

Cheap as chips or Lalique

Common as muck or tres chic

 

The deliverer of views, the giver of news                                            

Just once in a blue blue moon

Spies a prize that was missed by car-boot eyes

It’s only worth a small fortune
