If you have a speech to make
Here's some tips you ought to take
Keep it short, keep it sweet
Don't you lead them to their sleep
I know you have a lot to say
And could go on for a whole day
But they have all got a place to be
A thing to do, a friend to see
So work out how you'll keep it short
Keep it tight like you've now been taught
Take out each word that is there just for you
And then you might just be set to
Make a speech, one which holds it's own
Before they can...too late.
Bring out their phones.
