Best Picture
So what exactly happened
When that final name was read?
Is it true that the presenters
Got a mixed-up card instead?
The accountants took the blame, of course,
But was the fault their own?
And the host accused himself, but really,
How could he have known?
Both the stars who did the blurting
Were insistent they’d been fooled
And it’s possible they were and thus,
Unfairly ridiculed.
Still, to all of us who watched,
We’ll never know how it occurred.
Just another case of truth and fiction’s
Borders being blurred.
