Quoth the Speaker

A few months ago I wrote this for a Toastmasters humorous speech contest. I didn't win, but I'm still proud of it. It's my own version of "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. This speech was inspired in part by this classic product review of Tuscan milk, and I hope you enjoy it. 

Once upon a lazy Sunday as I sat there dreading Monday
Hoping for a for a cat nap of an hour or more

As I lay there, lightly dozing, awesome dreams my brain composing

When I felt a fervent nosing, nosing I tried to ignore

Five more minutes please I muttered, then proceeded to ignore

A prodding that became much more.
