Poems and Speeches by Angela Lansbury

 Good poems should be like fine speeches

Which everyone can remember

Because of the message each teaches

More joy each time it's dismembered


The words should be simple and clear

The thought clear and bright as daylight

Every verse, sentence and word

Should strike major chords when it’s heard


A poem should be like an old friend

Not put a foot wrong, nor stay too long

Always there when it is needed

But brief, know when meetings should end.
