Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I just love to mess with you!
The only thing I dislike,
Is the smell you claim I leave
Each time you disagree with me.
...

Well...
You can look at it this way...
If he is not elected,
Times ahead are going to get a whole lot worse.
...

Have I come back with the same rap to unpack?
Perhaps.
Will I be uncouth expressing not a hint of tact?
You can count on that!
...

More tit and less tat for that.
That tat needs to step back.
Unwinding it,
Does not sit too well,
...

You do not understand where I am coming from?
Do I look stunned?
I am on the wings of reality.
It is a ride I have taken frequently.
...

Although I walk...
With an earned dignity I pride.
I feel I am not greeted with respect.
And this treatment leaves me in deep regret.
...

Upon this journey that we labor,
With sacrifices done.
Can we afford to stop and languish,
Satisfied some battles fought have been won?
...

What is report?
Report is established,
Not demanded.
Seduction to manipulate
...

You must be channeling a fool,
If you expect I should converse with one.
There is nothing 'upstairs' in your head,
If you think your masquerade is fun!
...

Why are you riding,
My back like a flea?
The only thing missing,
Is a harnessed saddle secured on me.
...
