The controversial stance

Taking the controversial stance
is nothing more than a complex dance
round a floor not made by nail and hammer
but by argument, words and complex grammar.

Fill your speech with factual support
and with your audience build a rapport
lead them round till they find
their minds are in a bit of a bind.

Confuse them by changing tact
or bringing in a weird fact
till you’re ready for the conclusions
putting forward your final solutions.

You might find as I have done
that all this can be quite fun
but never loose sight of your stance
while doing this choreographed dance.
