The Universe, Narrowed Down To New York
He was a bit overawed
his topic, too broad
A speech on 'The Universe'
ought not to be terse
So he narrowed it down
to his beloved hometown
He focused on New York --
Jews and Muslims who eat pork
He cited some verses
from the Bible and Koran
Then he threw up his hands
Said, "I've done the best I can."
The judges cried, "Bravo!"
You're a brilliant young man
We award you first prize:
