The Rotary Club

The Rotary Club

Someone invited me to speak at the Rotary Club,
I had Duran Duran playing on video screens,
just before I spoke, Simon Le Bon waked into the room,
gave me a wink and said: 'Don't save a prayer for me now.'

I was going to read: 'Dean of the faculty,'
but didn't, as the hand was in an uncompromising position:
'We want something innovative,' someone told me,
no depression, love, suicide, snakes, sunsets or tulips.

That ruled most things out, not another bloody wizard,
no, not dark, perhaps ethereal, whatever that means;
it went well, not too rude but some people squirmed,
they would go home wondering what they'd learned.

I knew what they'd like, new ways to make money,
should have been a 'Bitcoin' guy telling lies 'bout bread & honey.
