The Speech Poem by anais vionet

Everything was dull,
you know? Another dark and
dull pandemic week.

But now: OH, MY GOD,
I'M SO EXCITED! ! - I can
hardly eat or sleep! !

Gloomy clouds of doom
dissipated when I heard
our President's speech!

The pandemic's past
it's peak he said, it'll be over
by the election!

Two Days! ! There will be
DATING SOON - I can scarcely
curb my elation!

I ran to find my
mom - she'll appreciate this
new revelation.

See - I'll need an all
new wardrobe - we've a shopping
list to complete! "

"I need EVERYTHING
in two weeks - MY **GOD**, is there
even time to sleep? ? ? "

"Trump can't just make that
call" she said, (she knows, she's a
*doctor* after all)

"The President would
never miss-lead us, there are
peoples LIVES at stake! "

"And the people would
would remember, it's on the
news for heaven's sake! "

"Besides, if he
lies and people die - it's a
crime not a mistake! "
