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...

The Darwin Awards are a posthumous honor, recognizing those who have improved the human gene pool by removing themselves from it by their own foolish actions.

In a robbery way out in Long Beach
Elliot's handgun misfired in the breech
    Down the barrel he...

Awards and Recognition

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...

The dazzle in lights
A Broadway moment full of entertainment being a sight

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......
