TROPICAL FRUITS 2018 AGM POET REPORT
Arriving late,
at Queer community AGM,
speakers expectorating phlegm,
many items to get through,
lots of talking to do,
discovering irregular path,
negotiating dogs, boots, carts,
standing near organisational chart,
seatless regretting missing start.
Report money in bank,
organisation not about to tank,
officials elected,
committees selected,
last office bearers given thanking,
instead of spanking,
avoiding participant numbers tanking,
consultation begins before lunch,
energies high,
ideas fly,
everybody has a try,
some decisions reached,
others carried over,
until indecision breached.
New member recruitment doing well,
member numbers haven't fell,
existing members are ageing,
search for younger,
driving organisational hunger,
more women involved would redunder,
alleged unproven male tendency to blunder.
Been very busy year,
lots of activities to steer,
small number of volunteer,
leaving some near tear,
present year extra big event,
need more volunteer energy spent,
can existing people pay extra rent,
new volunteer members heaven sent.
Group begun for rural,
male homosexual support,
now evolving to import,
much broader more complex cohort,
wanting to retort,
to heterosexual fundamentalist court,
straights being tactically caught short,
continuing looking to abort,
successful Gay victories fought.
Australians voting for Gay Marriage,
new regard by Gays,
for voting Aussies emerging,
despite ongoing Cro-Magnon man urging,
law was passed,
giving Gays a future blast.
Tropical Fruits is a small organisation,
energised by volunteers,
much to do,
by so over committed few,
very little money,
practicalities not so funny.
