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 concure, 
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 terrible little gets done!

We resolve and absolve, but we 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?
