Upon my honor I saw a Madonna Standing in a niche Over the door Of the glamorous whore Of a prominent son of a bitch.Said to have been written in the guest-book of Hearst Castle, referring to the room occupied by Hearsts mistress, Marion Davies. Parker always denied it, pointing out that she would never have rhymed honor with Madonna. Since Parker didnt write it, there are many different versions of this, including ones where the word describing the whore is favorite or famous, and ones where son of a bitch is modified by the worlds worst instead of a prominent.
