Prose for Thought – Win or Lose. A Poem for the MAD Blog Awards 2014
Welcome to this week’s Prose for Thought and what else could I write about this week but tomorrow’s impending MAD Blog Awards?!
It is the second time in two years that my blog has made the finals in the Most Innovative Category. Ross asked me on Tuesday whether I was nervous. ‘Nah’ I told him, ‘not in the slightest’. Well now it is kind of creeping up on me. Last year I was nervous mainly because I had no clue what to expect and never thought I would win it. Well, this year, I would REALLY love to win. Really. But if I don’t then I know, without doubt, that I will have another amazing night with the perfect excuse to dress up in my finery, have my make-up and hair done, chat to all my lovely blogger friends, enjoy a scrumptious 3 course meal AND be able to share it with Ross this year who will be videoing the whole caboodle. Last year I had an absolute blast and I can’t wait to do it all again!
This poem is a ‘thank you’ to everyone who voted for me. I hope I do you proud.
Win Or Lose
It is tomorrow, the day has arrived
The time has finally come
For the 2014 MAD Blog awards
Soon enough, we’ll know who’s won
Once again, I don’t know how
I made it through to the final few
And if it was you who put me there
A really great big THANK YOU
I don’t why, I don’t how
I don’t know what I’ve done
I love to help see people succeed
And become their own number one
If I told you I didn’t want the award
You know that I would be lying
But if by chance I somehow win
You know I’ll end up crying
To be able to call this space
An award-winning piece of the net
Would be an amazing accolade
The best I could ever get
Whatever happens though
Whether I pull through or do not
I really love the things I do
I’m very happy with my lot

Great poem. Haven’t followed the MADs for a while. Thank you so much for everything you do on the blog. Prose4T has inspired a lot of people to do their best and some really awesome writing has come from it. x
Great poem Victoria. Good luck! I’ll keep my fingers, legs, toes… crossed for you. xx
Love that poem! Good luck to you for tonight and see you later. I really feel like I won’t win – I feel it even more strongly than last year, knowing who I’m up against, but I’m just happy to be there. Even to say you’ve been a finalist in a national blogging awards (twice) is a real achievement.
Another lovely poem V – good luck in the MADs!
It sounds like no matter what happens you are a winner! But good luck anyway – I hope to be toasting your success tomorrow!
Wishing you lots of luck lovely! Have a fab night 🙂
Oh good luck! I can’t wait to read about you winning xxx
Fab poem, hope this is your year Victoria, good luck and have a great time. x
Wishing you the best of luck! I have my fingers crossed for you x
Fab poem. Good luck for tomorrow night, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you 🙂
Great poem! Wishing you lots of luck for the award – it sounds like it will be a fantastic night either way but I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you! #prose4T
