Analysis of Speaker
Sadly, today’s luncheon speaker
Not an information “leaker”
Rattles, reads in monotone
Boring, dry, I can but moan
Reviewers, orators, those who teach
Please, do not just read your speech
Give a forceful intro, gesture, and postulate
Be descriptive, entertain and demonstrate
Audience glued, to most important factor
In your speech do intonate and be an actor
And to think I paid for this affair
Let me disappear and imagine I wasn’t there.
I don’t know why we
must wear underwear
all the time...
Adam and Eve didn’t
and they almost got
along.
