Robert's Rules carried the day,
order and efficiency the focus.
It's just a lot of hocus pocus
to plow through the boring business
of dollars and cents, grants for May,
with a little social fun along the way. 
I embrace the conspicuousness
of holding the grand gavel
and leading the assembly's travel.

Ha! Nicely done and an unexpected, delightful poem about one of the most (to me) boring procedural methods. Made me lol

Haha, Agreed boring procedural methods but necessary to wrangle a bunch of old ladies to focus on the business at hand (Raising and awarding scholarship money, when they really gathered to gossip and reunite with friends.) But it is serious business when 51 ladies fundraised and gifted over $20,000.00 last year and are on track to gift approximately the same this year.  Being leader of the band needs a little boring discipline and takes time away from writing and that is why I wrote and posted this poem right before midnight last night.   ~~Judi
