Poetry For Special Occasions

Which special occasions deserve a poem?

I think there are many occasions where, if you can turn in a good poem, stand up and read it, people will have a wonderful time. It may earn you all kinds of praise and affections. So if you can stand up and read a brilliant poem at a wedding, a funeral, some kind of commemorative act around a birth, saying goodbye to a friend, or even mocking a boss. There are all kinds of occasions where if you can turn in a good poem, it's very, very rewarding.
