Mark Twain

Surely it is not a crime,
When preparing oneself for a rhyme,
Nor is it a breach,
For an impromptu speech,
To allow yourself plenty of time.


"It usually takes more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech."

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
