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.
