The Great British Entrepreneur Awards
I'm so incredibly proud and privileged ,
to be recognised by the #GBEA '25 team,
The fact that I've been shortlisted,
Is far beyond my wildest dream.
Single mum to three wild boys,
They're the apple of my eyes,
I'm the founder of Lotus Poetry,
A new and upcoming social enterprise.
I'm running on purpose and passion,
Lots of caffeine, kindness and care,
But I'm

The SAG Awards
It’s fun to watch Awards shows,
Though they’re shallow and they’re trite –
Stars all gathering together
For an ego-boosting night.
Yet the SAG Awards montages
Showing actors at their start
Captured images of younger days
That set the show apart.
From childhood roles and little parts
In soaps or SVU,
We got to see performers
When their jobs were spanking new.
The lucky ones who

Participation Awards For Everyone
The best
contest,
so fun,
is one
in which
you ditch
all thoughts
that lots
of time
with rhyme
and with
real pith
will get
you set
to win
with pen
a note
you wrote
to cheers
from peers
because
it does
stand out
about
a theme
you seem
to state
with weight
and grace;
to place
with verse
perverse
or terse
or worse
instead,
ahead
of none
save one,
the guy,
who by
mistake,
did make
a goof,
and poof!
DQ
anew.
Surprise,
surprise,
all tries,
first prize,
upsized
with fries!
Big lol,
that's all...

Military Awards and Medals
Awards and Recognition
They patted selves on their very own back;
They do have all things which we will lack;
Am so sore,
We are poor,
Live in towers while we survive in a shack.
Many things medals and awards are about;
Who is the one who can give the most out;
Never sure,
Or can endure;
In whole system we do have much

An Academy Awards Affair
An Academy Awards Affair
(To remember???)
When playing game called Academy Awards
You must learn how to use many chords
And then I started to play song's notes
People left and had to jump in their boats.
To many was really an amusing affair
But for others sure was hard to bare
As show went along and it progressed
Not impressed with way women

It’s a talent night being on the move
Hand me my Tony Award
But the Tony Awards on Sunday
