THE UNION MEETING
Macintosh
Everyone here? Please take your place.
Brian, Barbara, Christopher,
You, Dominic, please shut the door.
And Catherine, my sweet,
Will you please take notes
And then count the votes.
Mrs Sleaze
Before we start I’d like to say
A big thank you to Mr Mac
For stepping in the Chair today,
But hope poor Ben will soon be back.
Mark
Catherine, where have you been?
You’ve not been in the office much.
Catherine
What, I’ve been in as much as you.
Mark
Know that I want to keep in touch.
Catherine
Oh, are you telling me you care?
I seem to think I like you too.
I know now why you stop and stare,
I guess you’re thinking what to do.
Mark
Dear Catherine, you ought to know
The things that go on in my head.
Catherine
I’d like to go and have a drink.
Mark
I’d like to get you into bed!
Catherine
That’s rather bold!
That’s made it clear!
(Rosette, now aged 19, arrives)
Mrs Sleaze
Welcome my dear. This is Rosette who is new to us all.
Catherine (to Mark)
Keep well away!
Mark
But Catherine…
Catherine
We don’t want trouble here.
She isn’t your type,
You have to keep clear.
Mark
Who is that girl?
Catherine
Leave well alone!
Mark
Is she with us? Oy, Catherine!
(He gets up but bumps into Rosette)
I’m sorry about that, excuse me.
Macintosh
Listen up, all sit down
Lots to do before going to town.
Oh my God, lost my pen,
Who knows if ever I’ll see it again!
Just a tick. Mrs Sleaze,
Take the minutes for me if you please.
Are we right? Shall we start?
All I say will come straight from the heart.
Staff Member
Mr Mac, what’s this for?
We all know what we’re wanting to do.
Macintosh
Come on Jim, you know me,
What you want, I want too.
Catherine
The minister’s here! Time to go!
Break it up! Make it so!
Macintosh
Everyone here? Please take your place.
