Elation and Vacillation a Comedy

Elation & Vacillation a comedy
A poem
Lionel Derbyshire

Every day I want to .. but I could not
Today I must do .. I have to
Yesterday I let it go away so today 
I will not run dry, I will , I must
I have done my mirror practice
And I looked so good so here goes
Cannot wait another minute
Before I bleat myself with over worry
Must not become tense this is really it
Will not plummet , will not go down
Rise I am the centre of my universe
No need to annex my courage
The time has really come 
Come on now, chin is up on high
My teeth is white, my smile is wide
My shoes are polished , my shirt is ironed
I am top class.
I m a getting there after I leave here
I will swing my arms when I get there
I will stand on my own two feet  
I will sway and dance with joy
Confidently I have such  high hopes 
Singing now, no doubt about it 
I ‘ll be over the moon when Sally says “YES”
So here goes …. Shelly will you marry me  ??

Whack smack ! wrong girl …
