Thanks guys. I am using a poem instead of a speech because the topic I am talking on is naturally quite humorous. Its a bit of a long story but I want it to be obviously a poem because it is out of context and that way people will get it instead of being confused for the first half of the speech. So the flow of the poem is a bit like an aussie ballad. So I think I will just use it and anyone who doesn't like it will hopefully be so dazzled by my brilliance in the other verses that they won't notice
