The Orator

After a tepid greeting

A hush fell over the crowd

And as they took their seating

I spoke of my deeds so proud

On this stage I'd now embark

No teller of feeble lies

With a glance I saw the spark

And the wonder in their eyes 

So with a smile on my face

I just boldly clamored on

And soon all over the place

That skeptical look was gone

A change from when I started

As their cheering voices called

Bowing, I then departed

And there left them all enthralled
