Which Will It Be?
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Either we fail together.
Or together we fail.
Which will it be?
Anyone,
With a preference to suggest?
Yes, Mister Chairman.
Your suggested recommendation.
'Well...
Personally.
Taking into consideration,
This most difficult task before us.
I prefer the second one mentioned.
Since the first choice,
Calls us to rush immediately into action.
And a bit too redundant.
Like it has been done much too often.
However...
The second option?
At least seems as if,
Together we have time...
To think about which direction to take,
Has a better outcome for us all!
I do understand your comments clearly.
Anyone else with a suggestion?
Recommendation or an opinion.
Very well.
So...
I assume we are all in agreement?
Good.
Now...
Since there are no objections,
Expectations or exceptions.
The decision made is to fail.
Okay.
Next on our agenda?
Yes, Mister Chairman?
'I hope this doesn't sound too ridiculous.
God knows we all are under,
Duress, stress, pressure.
And everything else to get things done.
But...
Who was it that promised to bring,
The cheese dip, chips, beef tacos...
And beer,
To this meeting?
And, apparently forgot.
Who was it?
