CORN-FED CHAMPION
thos e

What’s it like to be him?
I’d like to
Know / No
One ever could best him
In summer, spring, fall
Or in the snow

When you watch him strut
Just try not to be
Awed / Odd
That n o one else in his family
Looks like they were forged
As a God

Still is there a sadness
Only I see in his eyes?
Is this judgment unbecoming?
Does he not yearn for this prize?

Corn-fed champion
He’s the corn-fed champion
Of the town
Of the state
Of the world
He’s so great
He’s great and he is ours

The crowd held their breath
When he walked down the
Aisle / I’ll
Never forget how he accepted our love
Without a smile

My thoughts are still on him
At this late
Hour / Our
Town would bring him back again
If it were in our power

Still, we recall the sadness
In his beak and in his eyes
We could only take away from him
We could never empathize

Corn-fed champion
He’s the corn-fed champion
Of the town
Of the state
Of the world
He’s so great
