Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

People Who Make Meetings Last

I am intolerant of people who make a meeting last two extra hours.
Asking inane questions that pertain to only them.
And of the leaders of the meeting who allow them to take over.
Commandeering the rest of us.
Some think I am rude when I leave at the scheduled time.
Half of the other participants follow me out.

Constance La France October 14, 2022 at 2:57 AM Caren, exactly how I feel too, I would have walked out with you. I have been at meetings like that where people just keep asking questions or making comments while the meeting goes into overtime, wonderful poem, blessings Constance Caren Krutsinger October 14, 2022 at 6:15 AM Thank you Constance. I think some people need an audience, but I am not willing.
