And The Award Goes To “Staged Event” By Stephen G

Everyone, take your places please
careful, no props are to be disturbed
Clipboards, lights, cameras, action 
from now on, silence must be observed

No need for backdrop scenery
we have the most perfect location 
The realistic stage has been set
at the local railway station  

We selected the best actors
stars of stage, movie and TV screens
And award winning make up artists  
specialists in traumatic scenes 

Oscar worthy performances  
from the director and producers
Special recognition goes out 
to the intuitive screen writers

A vivid and harrowing tale 
surely, the blockbuster of the year
An authentic war time drama 
sure to leave you filled with dread and fear

Apologies should have commented that this is a poem about Stephen Gs earlier post. Staged Event. Thank you for the kind comments and likes.

So kind of you to mention me in the title, Julie (I promise not to punch anyone at the ceremony), and for the nice things you said about my poem.

However, this one stands tall in its own right. One thing that bullies and liars don't like is being told that they are bullies and liars. They would almost certainly not see the joke. Great work.

Leon - kind of you to ask but I already have one!

BRILLIANT! but does Stephen get to get the woman at the end?

Pardon the light heartedness but its only to fill the necessary metaphorical cup that cheers and keeps the flags of hope and peace flying.

Thank you Julie-good work!

P&L.
