SAD TRUTH

Once had a really lame speech class. ( I was teaching) They didn't want to DO anything, most especially, give a speech. My frustration led to the following, which was "inspired" by their deadly, apathetic attitude and total lack of effort. Think of a herd of cows . . . .

SAD TRUTH
(c) - Tom A.B. Taylor - 2002


I do not wish to make a speech
It's not that it's beyond my reach
To stand, declaim, orate or preach
It's just . . . I do not wish to make a speech

Perhaps some other - distant - day
I'll boldly stand and be okay
(That day could come - indeed, it may)
But, truth to tell -
I've
Nothing
To
Say . . . .
