Oscar

i have been having fun names; they are: Albert, Jenny, Antoinette, and now Oscar. No offence is intended for any "person" ... and they are not names of anyone i know. ;) ...just saying! :)

Oscar

perhaps the "Grouch" at 

first thought

but no ...  i think not

gold teeth make him fierce

desirable and too ....

sought after 

to be the grouch

imaging would be concrete 

were it not for soft shimmering

malleable shell

Bomb Shells .......... undress

confess such adoration 

Men stutter their manhood

stolen long ago

Oscar ... no slouch, nor grouch

but mean just the same.

It's sad that things such as the Oscar have been relegated to the dustbin. There was a time when they actually meant something; but like the Nobel Peace Prize, politics often come into play which have absolutely nothing to do with the original intent of the award. My preferences are not geared by awards nor the critics. In fact, I tend to prefer the things they don't.

Like most have reviewed, the line about men stuttering their manhood is a stand out.

Well, despite the bombastic extravagance of the affair, most of us enjoy a vicarious thrill of seeing how the upper crust lives! *wink! wink!* I don't even have to watch the films to enjoy the Oscars! I am impressed by your subtle "Oscar" observations . . . you always see things nobody else does! (((HUGS)))

[Einstein Noodle]

He was gonna be forever Carlos but after his first year, debut, they dropped the " L " plates, rearranged what remained and lo and behold Oscar was born.
Now that was utter bullshit unlike your piece.

Satirical and so cleverly written- the red-carpet charade...Great word-play- "Oscar the Grouch" vs. Oscar with Gold teeth- yes he has a grill! Ha! " Men stutter their manhood"- shattering line. Excellent!

[Einstein Noodle]

thank you Annette ... my wife pays attention to Hollywood gossip stuff and fills me in at times ..i love to listen to her but all the stuff of "Tinsel Town" is rather egregious and depressing ... so i vent a little here at the cafe ..thank you for paying attention ;))
