I'm on a committee
Oh, give me pity
I'm on a committee
Which means 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 we 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 procedures are fun,
But though various notions
Are brought up as motions,
There's terrible 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?!
