The Presentation

Waiting…..

Butterflies in my stomach

Thoughts running through me head

I hope it comes out right

I hope it all makes sense.

Waiting…..

I've got to be positive

Even though I don’t believe all I say

It’s like a Jew preaching Jesus

Or a ‘Spurs fan praising Arsenal.

Waiting…..

He’ll be here soon

And in five minutes gone.

All this for five minutes

You’d think he was important!

Waiting…..

I wonder what he feels like

People creeping around

Saying what he’d like to hear

He must know it’s a front.

Waiting…..

Why am I sitting here worrying?

After all he’s just a man

Like me and millions of others

He’ll one day return to dust!

Waiting…..
