Written after listening to  very boring lecture.

The Speaker The speaker spoke and in words of choice Spoke with a very commanding voice. And as he warmed to his chosen theme With greatest gusto outlined his scheme. And as he continued passionately, The audience nodding dreamily. And when his speech in volume rose His listeners fell into soft repose Until, feeling the need to shout, Found his audience had quite passed out. Barry Stebbings 13/4/ 2016
