Broken Watches

Have you ever heard of a preacher criticized for not going long enough?
Have you ever heard of a preacher who was criticized because he didn’t go long enough?
If you’re a public speaker, let me give you some advice in a poem.
They gave him twenty minutes, and he finished up in ten. Oh, there’s a prince of speakers and a servant unto men. His diction wasn’t much, he hemmed and hawed a bit. But still he spoke a lot of sense, and after that he quit. At first we sat one paralyzed, then cheered and cheered again. For they gave him twenty minutes, and he finished up in ten.
Some public speakers, I’m one of them, sometimes seem to have broken watches.
Just saying.
I’m Steve Brown. You think about that.
