Twas the Night Before Speech Day

Twas the night before speech day when all through the house

Several creatures were stressing but it wasn’t the mouse

The speakers were practicing their speeches with care

In hopes that their grades would turn out to be fair.

The class was nestled all snug in their beds

But the speakers were stressing as words ran through their heads

It was time for these students to put on thinking caps

No time for rest, no play, no naps

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter

They quickly sat up to see what was the matter

When what to their wondering eyes did appear

Their alarm clock was ringing as class time drew near

They’ve worked hard to prepare and now it’s official

So let’s give them a clap, a shout and a whistle

And thank you for listening that’s the end of this rhyme

Merry speeches to all and to all a good time.
