THE VALUE OF ONE MEMBER
- Ten little members standing in a line. One disliked the President, then there were nine
- Nine Ambitious members offered to work late. One forgot her promise, and then there were eight.
- Eight creative members had ideas good as heaven. One lost enthusiasm, then there were seven
- Seven loyal members got into a fix. They quarreled over projects, then there were six.
- Six members still remained to keep the group alive. One moved away, then there were five.
- Five steadfast members wished that there were more. One became indifferent, then there were four.
- Four cheerful members who never disagree, 'til one complained of meetings, then there were three
- Three eager members, what do they do? One got discouraged, then there were two.
- Two lonely members, our rhyme is nearly done. One joined a sports team and then there was one.
- One faithful member was feeling rather blue, met with a neighbor, and then there were two.
- Two earnest members each enrolled one more, doubling their number, then there were four.
- Four determined members, just couldn't wait, 'til each one won another, then there were eight.
- Eight excited members signed up sixteen more. In six more verses, there'll be a thousand twenty-four!!
