Only The Winner

The winner of course was the best on the day
And as usual was the recipient of the loud hooray
But for one for to win many do have to lose
Though that is something anyone does not choose
The winner does smile with a satisfied grin
For everyone seems to love you when you win
'Tis hard to stay humble when the cheers for you ring loud
When you do have some reason for to feel proud
Though by the better one on the day you have been beat
'Tis not very easy to smile in defeat
Of the lion's share of the glory the winner none can deny
You did not take the big prize though hard you did try
The great sense of joy that winning does create
And only the winner the fans celebrate.
