Ode: Meeting Minutes

The message of the meeting is repeated in the minutes
A memorializing message of minutely managed moments
When quickly crafted questions are redactively reduced
To bolded Action Items that will never be pursued
And prickly problems points are pinioned to a footnote
At the bottom of a page that is fortunately forgotten
While decisions are detailed in deadly dull description
In a style that makes you wish they were never ever written
But it doesn't really matter and you shouldn't really care
What is written's never read and what happened never there
It's a fiction more than fact for the facts are best forgone
And these minutes now here end they have gone on far too long.
