I'm On a Committee

Oh give me your pity!

I'm on a committee,

Which means that from morning to night

We attend and amend

And contend and defend,

Without a conclusion in sight.

We confer and concur,

We defer and demur,

And reiterate all of our thoughts.

We revise the agenda

With frequent addenda

And consider a load of reports.

We compose and propose. We suppose and oppose.

And the points of procedure are fun.

But through various notions

Are brought up as motions,

There's terribly little gets done.

We resolve and absolve,

But we never dissolve,

Since its out of the question for us,

To bring our committee

To end like this ditty

Which stops with a period...thus.
