Speech

He thanked his new mother in law again.

This was the eighth around with the thank yous, he couldn’t seem to stop.

The speech was already too long, and now he’d done it eight times.

Better go again from the top.

The second time people thought it was nerves,

The third time seemed like a joke,

They stoped cheering at the fifth time around,

And by six people started to join in,

Chanting along.

“I’d like to raise a toast.”
