The Speech

The departure of our specialist
was an opportunity not to be missed
by the boss to put himself again
out onto performer's lane.

He conceived a speech so nice
supposedly full of wit and spice
but when he started it was clear
The speech was good for harbour's pier.

His heart was not inside
and his body strived to hide
the expression on his face
that could not cope with words and pace.
