THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE CHAIRMAN I CHAIRISH
Last Line: NO COMMITTEE COULD ASK.

The chairman I chairish
Is chairy of speech,
But he chairs up the workers,
Encouraging each.

He backs up the timid,
Upholds with his arms,
And rounds up his projects
With winsomest charms.

He leaves no loose edges,
Is tidy and neat,
And always is trusty,
Abhorring deseat.

He never needs caning,
He springs to his task;
A cleverer chairman
No committee could ask.
