Do not Bother Trying to Win a Contest at Work

No matter what the contest please decide not to win.
You create an elaborate costume until your head will spin.
Arrive at work hoping to have ooh and ahhhs
But someone else has stolen thunder from you, Ms. McGaws.

There are Ms. McGaws all over every work place I have been.
They go sixteen times over the extra mile, like my cousin Lynn.
Their hair is fifty-two feet higher than yours would ever go.
If there is a next contest, please politely say “no”.
