Approval Committee Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

From your point of view.
What qualifies anyone,
Of having the expertise and experience...
To hold such a prestigious position,
That requires competence and confidence...
Others will come to depend upon.
Besides...
Looking the part.
And having an impressive image.

"I'm sorry.
I am not quite understanding the question."

Besides looking the part.
And giving impressive image.
What qualifies the person picked,
To sit in such a prestigious position?

"What has that got to do,
With our choice to pick...
For this honorable position.
Our selection was based upon,
The expectations of those we represent.
Wishing all positions be filled,
By those that have presence.
And can identify with when seen on TV."

Oh!
Understandable.
We thought there was a more,
Devious explanation.
You attempted to keep hidden,
From our approval committee.
Your chosen pick,
We approve with no objections.
