Honours System
A chap I was at school with
Once worked for the NHS.
He’s written dozens of reports
And made a total bloody mess.
Still, there’s no shame in being wrong;
Let’s give the lad a proper gong.
A CBE? Perhaps.
An MBE? Why not?
An OBE? Let’s see.
A peerage? Well, maybe.
A knighthood? Not likely, that’s for me!

Thanks, Brian. You have probably guessed that I would turn down the knighthood, which is easy to say when there's no chance of being offered one.
