i have to perform a monologue in front of all these agents. i really want my monologue to come off as realistic and funny, and to just stand out. any suggestions?
here's my monologue:

Award for Tardiness “Clueless” (male or female):
Alex: This is so unexpected, I, uh, I didn't even have a speech prepared. Uh, but I would like to say this: Tardiness is not something you can do all on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. Uh, I'd like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the L.A. city bus driver for taking a chance on an unknown kid, and, uh, last but not least, the wonderful crew at McDonalds for spending hours making those egg McMuffins, without which I might never be tardy.

"WWII gave birth to the cold war. At the end of the war, the Grand Alliance held several conferences to determine the postwar settlement. Keeping the conferences and conflicting ideologies in mind, was the Cold War inevitable? Why or why not?"

Walking home late one night
A tall dark man gave me a fright

He held out his hand and gave me a smile
He made me want to run for miles and miles

"Don't be afraid" he said to me
"What happens is what's meant to be."

I took his hand and gave a start
Because his touch stopped my heart.

I slipped away and fell to the ground
Watching the world spin round and round.

And as a started to fade away
I heard a voice tell me to stay.

I opened my eyes and took a breath
I knew, that day, I nearly found Death.


((not one of my best, but I thought it was cute))

Why did the ancient Roman Civilization crumble? What could the empire have done differently to have avoided their imminent collapse? Were their military forces stretched too far? Thanks all!

Has anyone ever heard of a poet named Egzooma? I don't know if I spelled it right but that's the way it's pronounced. He performs a very dark type of poetry.
