Sheryl Lee Ralph gave
the best acceptance Speech
Since Lena Horne
After winning
the Emmy
For Abbot Elementary
Like Lena, Sheryl
both sang
During their acceptance
Of course, Lena added
The campiness for
Stroking her microphone
During her words of thanks.
Passion shot through me
With Sheryl’s heavily
Beaded headdress
And black silk dress
This majestic woman
Owned the stage
Defining grace
I saw her portray
Diana Ross
In Dreamgirls
40 years ago
I knew she had
An annual AIDS fundraiser
But otherwise, she was
Off my radar
The no-nonsense teacher she
Plays on Abbot Elementary
Won my heart
I love this woman.
