The Committee

They get together quarterly

To review the game so far

Probing into progress made

How high to set the bar

Agenda’s issued and allotted

With a space for making notes

Should matters most essential

Demand discussion driven votes

Small talk  at the outset
A show of confidence in case
With offhand insignificance
We're glad together touching base

Hot debates force opposition

Cooperation dips and sags

As 'give and take' exchange concedes

Accepting each way has its snags

Atmosphere begins to cook

Easy-going takes a hike

Hands are raised with egos grazed

In disagreement and dislike
