The obedient one reported,

"All the punchlines have been
delivered.
All the loose ends have been
tied up.
All the goal posts have been torn
down.
All the smiles are now umbrellas.
All mountains are now
molehills.
All dogs have had their day.
All souffles have risen.
And all the darnedest
things have happened."
He then held his breath, hoping
it was enough.
The Chairman replied,
"OK, but has everyone kissed and made
up?"
Crestfallen, the little man whispered,
"No, I'm still working on that."
And he slouched off
with slumped shoulders
and a tired heart.
