NEA President Reg Weaver's NEA Member Poem

ARE YOU AN ACTIVE MEMBER
THE KIND THAT WOULD BE MISSED?
OR ARE YOU JUST CONTENTED
THAT YOUR NAME IS ON THE LIST?
DO YOU ATTEND THE MEETINGS
AND MINGLE WITH THE FLOCK?
OR DO YOU STAY AT HOME
TO CRITICIZE AND KNOCK?
DO YOU TAKE AN ACTIVE PART
TO HELP THE WORK ALONG?
OR ARE YOU SATISFIED
TO ONLY JUST BELONG?
DO YOU WORK WITH YOUR COMMITTEE
AND GET RIGHT IN AND MIX?
OR LEAVE THE WORK TO JUST A FEW
AND TALK ABOUT THE CLIQUES?
THINK IT OVER, MEMBER ----
YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG!
ARE YOU AN ACTIVE MEMBER
OR DO YOU JUST BELONG?
THINGS JUST DON'T HAPPEN
THEY ARE MADE TO HAPPEN.
