Do You Just Belong?

Are you an active member, The kind that can be missed, Or are you just content that your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings, And mingle with the crowd, Or do you stay at home, And crab both long and loud?

Do you take an active part, Do you help the club along, Or are you satisified to be the kind to just belong?

Do you ever visit a member who is down and sick, Or leave the work for just a few and talk about the clique?

There is quite a program scheduled that means success if done, And it can be accomplished With the help of everyone.

So attend the meetings regularly And help with hand and heart.  Don't just be a member, But take an active part.

Are we right or are we wrong?  Are you an active member or DO YOU JUST BELONG?
