Short Seminars Poems

Teachers work best when in seminars
Poets read verses in smokey bars
Chefs rock with a spoon
Plumbers show their moon
But Astronomers shoot for the stars!

Borborgymic and gurgling,
he tried to go a-burgling,
but when he snagged the diamond ring,
his eructations stole the day.

So now he watches seminars;
he's learning how to play guitar.
He even hums a couple bars,
stamps license plates for play....

Some days are up, others are down
    Little setbacks wear a big frown
  Every ache or pain, magnified
    Tingles and twinges our battle cries

  Offered a plethora of seminars

I invite you all to a symposia, a series,
A bunch of events on uplifting the dreary
I encourage everyone to please convene
On how we might unravel the things between
What people do and what people say
And how their dismay is not on display
Through these seminars we will discover
How to help our sisters and brothers
Those who suffer silently in front of our faces
And desperately need a soothing oasis
Together we will learn how to assist
Those whose depression always persists...

It’s an honor and a privilege
And a lot of fun to be
A Team Member
Of the SSP

In 1956
Back in history
The Secretaries Club was born
At UTMB

To orient, teach
And meet socially
With seminars, programs
And luncheon meetings monthly

With groups
Of developed committees,
Fundraisers and contributions
Support the university

It’s now much more
Than a club of secretaries,
It’s the Support Staff Professionals
Called the SSP!
