It's round
So that everyone has the same width of view
It's round
So that everyone has the same position and plight
It's round
So that everyone is as close as the others
It's round
So that everyone can take turn to speak
Like the turning disc at the centre of the dining table
It's round
So that an unanimous conclusion is reached
And a happy family is formed
Like the shape of the table
At a reunion dinner
If not in the meeting room of an office

It is a unanimous decision
Shirley is not at our faculty meeting.
We appoint her “in charge” of spirit day – Wednesday!
Watch out! Her teaching partner cautions us,
but she does not offer to do it.
Neither do the other twenty-six people there.
Thus, we are wearing go-go boots, miniskirts, and tassels
and anyone older than sixty has to do a handstand.
That is me.
Serves us all right.

There was once a fella named cutthroat
Who played seven card stud in raincoat
It was his lucky charm
Smelt like ox on a farm
Banning such clothes, unanimous vote

Was Unanimous
Did end up being disastrous
What started out being amorous
Decided to make it declarative
If things would be imperative
United decision was unanimous.
