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.
