Are You An Active Captain?

Are you an active captain,
   the kind who would be missed,
Or are you just content
   to see your name on the list?
Do you guide your team
   to help the games run smooth
Or do you just sit back and stare,
   don't care to make a move?
Do you attend the meetings
   and share them with your crowd
Or would you rather stay at home
   and complain both long and loud?
It's quite a league we've scheduled
   and meetings are only few.
And we can't make it all go well
   without some help from you.
So come to all the meetings
   and help with hand or heart;
Don't be just another captain
   but take an active part.
Think it over, Captain,
   are you right or wrong?
Are you an active captain
   or do you just belong?
