Toastmasters limerick
A limerick it is
For us, Toastmaster species
We start out quiet and meek
and then begin to love to speak
Once we begin, there is no stopping
Unless a red card someone is brandishing
Speaking one-on-one or addressing a large meeting place
It doesn’t matter cos a Toastmaster won’t hesitate
At Toastmasters – we do listening too;
And thinking on our feet also called impromptu;
we give praise and feedback too
All this and more at Toastmasters do
A good Toastmasters seeks out speaking opportunities
A good Toastmaster regularly pays the monthly fees
We live by a promise; ten points long
To a wonderful universal club, we Toastmasters belong
I’m pleased to admit that I’m one too
A Toastmaster for life; nothing else will do.
