There was a meeting that never did end.
Once it began, it just never did end.
The participants came,
Said their game.
It was lame.
But the meeting went on and on and on.
And so it went until 'twas well past noon.
We all truly felt that it must end soon.
We sat in a bunch,
wanting lunch,
munch, crunch.
But the meeting went on and on and on.
At quarter to one, plenty hungry were we,
The speaker, she took a seat thankfully.
We thought we were through!
Things to do!
Oh - speaker two.
And the meeting went on and on and on.
By quarter to two, faint with hunger there,
Even the attentive slumped in their chair.
When miracle come
She was done!
Oh what fun!
How that meeting went on and on and on.

Oh, so that's where you've been all day. I wondered if perhaps the stampeding buffalo had made it your way.
Buffalo?! Where?! Are there chimps?
I think the chimps were being treated in my ER last night, actually. Don't worry, the police finally took them away on charges of assault with deadly-smelling excrement.
By the way, I think you just described, with perfect accuracy, every work meeting I've ever been to.
Very timely. I was in meetings all friggin' day yesterday. I wasn't creative enough to write about it though.
Last staff meeting, I concentrated on lifting the chair by staring at it long and hard...what's the scientific term for that? Chair upon which sat the boss of the bosses. I failed. Oh well.
Mind if I link you?
Psychokinesis/telekinesis. I figured you'd be dying to find out :p
Do we work for the same company? My company LOVES meetings. Especially meetings that don't go anywhere. Meetings to discuss one idea that one person had and then everyone spends a half hour weighing in with their opinions.
I've never been very good at telekinesis, either. I gave up after that one meeting where I sent the pencil flying past the bosses head and into the wall behind him.
No, not really.
Link away, Minerva.
I am glad you all agree about endless meetings. You probably, however, were not able to be clever poets because of all the focus on telekinesis. Good luck with that.
My endless meeting has translated into the eternal pit in-box. Sorry to disappear, but I am S-W-A-M-P-E-D!!
It's the official definition of meetings: something which keeps minutes and wastes hours. Sympathies. I don't have to go to many of those in my job. Yay!
