Winners' Speeches
When Oscar winners make a speech,
They often thank their mothers,
As well as castmates, agents
And a host of many others.
It’s good to know the sacrifice
Of moms, and their support,
In words of winners on the stage
Don’t often come up short.
I’ve noticed on some other shows,
When claiming an award
For music or athletics,
Winners’ mothers are ignored.
Instead, the first place finishers
Look up and thank their god.
I always think their moms are more
Deserving of the nod.
