A Meeting In the Conference Room
A Meeting in the Conference Room
By Elton Camp
The supervisor seems to know just one main way
That he can justify his position and outrageous pay
That is by a required meeting where he’ll preside
Employees moaning and groaning is hard to hide
Nobody wants to hear from the self-important jerk
As he attempts to tell them how to do their work
He thinks that he knows what is the very best way
And the ones who do the tasks have nothing to say
It is a voice of authority that he will try to assume
Just as soon as he strides into the meeting room
With the sound of his own voice he seems fascinated
While his foolish instructions are repeatedly related
What he will say could be done in five minutes or less
But the meeting will last at least an hour, nevertheless
Then he complains when office work gets behind
That he wasted so much time none should remind
The office would be better off if he would disappear
But that he will soon demand an assistant, never fear
