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!!
