The movie ends, the credits start; The audience starts going. Most don’t give a hoot about The credits that start showing. They might wait for the actors’ names But then they’re out the door, Assuming all that info’s Something they can just ignore. I once was told to seek a name – A friend’s son in the biz, And when the names scrolled by, I was Excited to see his. It made me think of all that work – To set each scene or edit, For such a quick acknowledgement And none to see your credit. And so I sit and watch the list Of all the cast and crew, For in the audience, we should Give credit where it’s due.
