The price of competition’s steep
If you are battling Meryl Streep
Oh dear the gowns, the dinner winks
Go with that lizard to get “drinks”
No actress, even with great voice
Wants to compete with Sophie’s Choice
And truly, who can even blame her
Compete with Kramer versus Kramer??
Oh, Dianne Wiest had hoped to catch her
Then Meryl clones old Maggie Thatcher
So let’s be fair, no one comes close
Sometimes there is only one rose
