Life without Committees<br />
Have you ever thought when you come down to<br />
play<br />
If things weren’t the same as they are today<br />
If the car park was covered in rubbish and<br />
clutter<br />
And cans and weeds were clogging the gutter<br />
If the flower bed plants were choked and<br />
signing<br />
All the flowers and shrub were dried up and<br />
dying<br />
Into the clubrooms with dirt on the floor<br />
Nothing cleaned up from the night before<br />
Un-emptied ashtrays you’d soon get picky<br />
With tables unwashed all smelly and sticky<br />
Up for a drink nobody’s serving<br />
The bar not getting the clean it’s deserving<br />
Glasses not clean with chipping and cracking<br />
The service and hygiene both of them lacking<br />
Up for a raffle the board is not clean<br />
Nowhere around is there chalk to be seen<br />
Out comes you number but there’s no surprises<br />
There is no volunteer to arrange any prizes<br />
Look at the board to see where we play<br />
But it seems there been another delay<br />
There used to be one other place to look<br />
But no one has bothered to produce, this year’s<br />
book<br />
Before we go out let’s put on some cream<br />
But the darn thing is empty and the toilet<br />
unclean<br />
There is no match committee so arrange your<br />
own teams<br />
Just think of the shambles there’ll be on the<br />
greens<br />
Get your own jacks and mats you’ll need them<br />
to play<br />
And put them back at the end of the day<br />
Don’t call an umpire he’s never been paid<br />
All decisions by you will have to be made<br />
There was nobody there to work out the draw<br />
So who can we get now to work out the score<br />
Who was it arranged all the raffles and meat<br />
Delivered it, cool stored it, ready to eat<br />
Who sets up the pokies, banks all the cash<br />
Pulls up the flag and bags up the trash<br />
