Public Speaking
I’m Late For School
I quickly threw books in my bag,
My pens, my lunch and shorts.
Grabbed my coat from out the cupboard,
Took my bat and ball for sports.
I slid across the kitchen floor,
And hopped around the cat!
Then expertly rolled over,
Jumped back up and grabbed my hat!
I belted out of our front door,
Spun round and swung it shut.
Saw the bus was waiting for me,
I felt I had time to strut!
I climbed aboard and then froze still,
And knew that things weren’t right!
My friends fell down in fits of fun,
And pointed with delight!
My face went red, I couldn’t breathe,
For in my haste I knew!
I’d forgotten to wear trousers,
Jumper, shirt, my socks and shoes!

Do we need to know this off by heart ?Because I don’t think I’ll be able to memorise it
Should we print this off or something so we can read it if we can’t memorise it?
Are we aloud to print a copy of this out and practice it?
Don’t worry about this exercise Ben. You did plenty of extra work for the Anzac ceremony.
