Academic (Retreat) Poetry

How many of us have been subject to the institutional "retreat?" Upon the occasion of our last retreat at UConn I offer you these poetic words:


Bylaws
Bylaws overlap
My brain becomes fuzz
Paying attention?
Not me.


Goals
"Deliverables" and "goals"
Many feign seriousness
Sleep comes
Where is the coffee?


Mission Statement
Mission statement
Everyone adds 2¢
A collective $2.46
Improvement?


Impossibly... More
Overhead projector shines
Certain headache begins
My life passes by
As air conditioners blast
