Elation and Vacillation a Comedy

Elation & Vacillation a comedy A poem Lionel Derbyshire Every day I want to .. but I could not Today I must do .. I have to Yesterday I let it go away so today I will not run dry, I will , I must I have done my mirror practice And I looked so good so here goes Cannot wait another minute Before I bleat myself with over worry Must not become tense this is really it Will not plummet , will not go down Rise I am the centre of my universe No need to annex my courage The time has really come Come on now, chin is up on high My teeth is white, my smile is wide My shoes are polished , my shirt is ironed I am top class. I m a getting there after I leave here I will swing my arms when I get there I will stand on my own two feet I will sway and dance with joy Confidently I have such high hopes Singing now, no doubt about it I ‘ll be over the moon when Sally says “YES” So here goes …. Shelly will you marry me ?? Whack smack ! wrong girl …
