He spoke freely
Unapologetically
No expert collaboration
Hoping words weren’t taken literally
Thoughts expressed
Without a qualm
Words exploding like a bomb
No rhyme or reason
Just a whimsical
Shalm
Flowing like the
Somme
An uncontainable river
Lapping capriciously
Without a qualm
On brazen shores
Of his tongue
His aplomb
Unbelievable!
