Quincy Porter (7 February 1897 – 12 November 12) was an American composer and teacher. He won the Pulitzer Prize for music in 1954.
What's In a Name?
If the Porter today had been "Cole,"
My lines would ample and droll,
But since it is "Quincy,"
My verse will be chintzy,
And you can go back to your scroll.

That you're given a Pulitzer Prize,
We've learned from the past
That the glory won't last,
Despite how your publicist tries.
