The Forum
THE FORUM

In the Forum they would talk, converse, discuss
In the Forum they would argue, even cuss
In the Forum they'd debate,
Scheme, make plans, pontificate
And analyze at length affairs of state.

In the Forum you could hear a lively speech.
All the senators were right within your reach.
You could hear the latest news,
Pay attention or just snooze,
Or stand up and give the leaders your own views!
