Lee Ramage Poet Rhyme

Big Shot

Honoured to be invited to speak at a one day workshop,

I survey the audience to decide when the lecture should stop.

We all agree that 10am is a good time to take a break,

I commit to sticking to the schedule for everyone’s sake.

As a professional lecturer, I’d flown a distance to speak,

They audio and videotaped me after I gave the final critique. 

We broke for morning coffee, I slipped off quickly to the bathroom,

After completing my task, I pulled up my pants and felt doom,

Seems in my rush to relieve myself,  I just completely forgot,

I still had my microphones on, I guess not such a big shot!

Lee Ramage September 22, 2011 at 10:15 PM Well, we erased that "pee" Part on the tape and I went back to lecturing, fortunately the only people hearing it were the sound technicians. It makes a great story everytime I have a big lecture, it breaks the ice. Lee
