Many hands
thank God they don’t all have a brain
A small group of people
all with the same interest form a club
They have officers and by-laws
they don’t follow them
They bicker and take stands on what’s good for the group
common sense stays at home
They gather in their cliques
with misplaced loyalties
Change is the enemy
when someone new is asked to lead
Maintain the status quo
whether it’s a good idea or not
because their hands can’t see
So many hands
showing a microcosm of government
bogged down by half the number of opinions
Not my usual post, but I needed to vent. In response to Charli Mills June 13, 2019, prompt from Carrot Ranch Literary: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about the work of many hands. Is it a cooperative effort or something else? Go where the prompt leads!

Very interesting – would you say it’s helpful for the right hand not to know what the left is doing? Part of me thinks that goes along with your message, but the political angle could be thwarting that, haha!

I was trying to point out it’s a good thing, in this case, there aren’t as many brains as hands or the situation would be even worse. I can’t tell you how frustrated the treasurer of this group and I about the situation. I’ve never seen so few people take so much time deciding such decisions that only need a yes, or no, answer.

A most intriguing post, Susan. It is amazing how people will debate a simple issue which should be so easy to conclude on.
