Here is a little poem that I received from Dr Kerry Raymond, University of
Queensland.

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 re-iterate 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 though various notions are brought up as motions
There's terribly little gets done.

We resolve and absolve, but never dissolve
Since it's out of the question for us
What a shattering pity to end our committee
Where else could we make such a fuss?

- -----------------------------------------------------
Happy Holidays !!!
Ed
