After being Page Captain, we have to make a presentation to the class that highlights three things:
1. What we did well
2. What we can improve
3. Strategies for improvement
We have to be creative in our presentations so I decided to write a poem (based on a very famous Christmas story) to share with my Page buddies.
May I present, the PEYge Poem!!!!
T’was the minute
before Question Period
And all through Queen’s
Park
All the pages were working
From morning ‘til
dark.
The glasses were
filled
Placed on desks with
great care
For all MPPs
Who soon would be
there.
The pages were quick
And they did what was
told
Taking motions,
petitions
To young and to old.
They stood when the
Speaker
Rose from his seat
And everyone sat
“together knees and
feet”.
Premier Wynne had her
water
Tim Hudak, his books,
Ms. Horwatch was
dressed in a dress…
Her best look!
There was yelling and
calling
And banging of desks
And heckling from members
Who gave it their
best.
But the Pages were
good
No, nothing could
phase them
They knew if it did
Sargeant-At-Arms
would come tase them!
The Pages were good
The Pages were neat
Worked quickly and
lively
Stood tall on their
feet.
They were dressed very
nicely
From head down to toe
Every tie, every
vest,
And each frilly jabot.
All deliveries were
made
With precision and
grace
All duties were done
With a smile on the
face.
The snapping was heard
And always obeyed
And listening well
Few mistakes there were
made.
But Pages, I know
We all want to improve
So here is my motion
Here’s what I move…
Though we’ve done our
work well
Better teamwork is
needed,
Quick response can
improve
This advice should be
heeded…
We must stand up in
unison
Sit straight in line,
And know where to go
When we’re called up
each time.
We’ve been three
weeks together
We should not scratch
and yawn
While we sit on the
Dais
When discussion is
on.
We should help one
another
With a nudge or a
touch
To all stand together
When the Speaker stands
up.
With Petitions and
Motions
We should each take
our turn
A professional “rep”
We will certainly
earn.
And please don’t
return
To your seat by the
Speaker
Give a turn to a Page
At the back who is
eager.
Politely bowing our
heads
Is still slightly lacking
Please don’t duck in
the House
As we don’t allow “quacking”.
A professional walk
Without hesitation
Makes us all look so good
On each TV station.
Our procession lines are
So tidy and neat
But we must take great
care
To not clomp our feet.
Every day at 8:30
When procession
time’s near
We should all get
together
And start with a
cheer
If we do all these
things
And we work as a team
Soon we’ll all see
Our Mrs. Tedford
beam!
Let’s all work
together
And do everything
right
Happy Paging to all
And to all a
goodnight!
