I would prefer to emulate Evelyn Waugh, who was said to have declined a knighthood because he valued hereditary privilege over merit.

Thank you, Cynthia.
I am a published poet and I have been seriously
hustling to become Australia’s first Poet Laureate lately.
The position was announced some time ago but
no announcement yet.
I guess my hunger for a knighthood is putting them off.
