A Toastmasters Experience Poem by Ranil Gunawardena

Some come to speak
Some come for a role
I go to watch
But I have great fun!

There are prepared speeches
There are tables topics
Rarely I do both
But I have round robin

Timer gives the time
Grammarian the grammar
ohh the number of Ahs
But I know I will improve!

There are evaluators
There are mentors
There are many roles
But the opportunity is mine!

We all talk and wait
The meeting starts late
The general evaluator points this out
Who cares, the general evaluator is our friend!

I meet my friends
I have a good break
I do mistakes
But still I learn a lot... Toastmasters!
