Notes About The Poem

Oscar Acceptance Speech

Wow, yes thank you, gee, O.K. umm
This’ really come out of the blue.
Firstly, I guess, it’s a big thanks 
To everyone in the crew

And especially my family, 
For living with my pose,
And thanks mum, for washing, 
And drying the blood stained clothes.

Thanks for giving me the lead role, 
Killing innocent folks in the story,
All the while being paid in gold,
Then giving me all the glory.

Lastly I need to thank the audience,
For loving this horror like a mob,
Giving me this Oscar award,
Just for doing my job.
