And
the winner is…..!
The big night has come around
again
The red carpet is rolled out
for everyone
For the confident, the shy
and the vain
All basking in their glory
like a shining sun
Making their way one by one
into the auditorium
With expectant faces and some
with good graces
The hall slowly fills with a
distinct vocal hum
There are people from all
places and many races
The time has come the light
becomes subdued
The anticipation is palpable
as it rises
The compare for the night enters
right on cue
Now is the time for handing
out the prizes
The night goes well with the
occasional song
With all categories covered
and well shared
Like clockwork the ceremony
ticks along
Is it too good to avoid any
trouble can we dare?
The climax is fast
approaching still everything goes well
Now for best picture, The
winner will be, can you guess?
On the stage come the actors
Warren and Faye who looks swell
And the winner is…..La La
La…Moonlight, Oh dear what a mess!

George,
ReplyDeleteI remember this faux pas from the Oscars,. It seems as though it was done purposely, when all it was, was a mix-up in envelopes. How embarrassing either way!

Dear George,
ReplyDeleteWonderfully on target speaking to an event which demonstrated that even the most carefully choreographed moment can go wrong!
Thank you.
