During a particularly long political meeting last night, the following poem sprang forth. Enjoy!

“Dysfunctional Meeting, 9:25 PM”

A motion is introduced.
People discuss.
Logic turns to non-logic turns
Back to logic.
Circular reasoning
(see “reasoning, circular”)
Friendly amendment
Accepted.
Hostile debate…

Tap, tap, BANG!
Gavel calms the throng.
Then another amendment,
A challenge motion!
Parliamentarian? Not present.

We carry on:
Recognized,
Seconded,
Out of order,
Calming voices build to cacaphony.
Motion to close discussion.
Begin again….

More hours to go…
More hours to go…
