What am I doing up here on this ugly podium?
I didn't think I'd win it but I have a pushy mum,
they're shouting 'Miss America I want your autograph'
I think this is some kind of joke I'm trying not to laugh.
Do I want to save the world or start a business project
or design floating boutiques with a hunky architect,
wander round the globe distribute money to the masses,
talk on the environment and all those greenhouse gases?
I really want to stand down as this Miss America
and by the way my name is Katie-Jean not Erica,
so please remove this heavy garish crown upon my head
give it to someone gullible like Erica instead!

That was a very different way of portraying the picture and it was a refreshing approach. Well done Hilly.
