Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

After it has been discovered
That grasshoppers 'hop'...
That's what they are going to do.
They're going to hop their green butts off!
...

They came to socialize,
In the best of their wardrobes...
And the least of their concerns.
They mingle and flutter around
...

Satisfaction came to me one day...
And it wasn't discounted or marked down.
From a price I originally could not afford.
It came to me priceless,
...

Catching my breath...
I came to a stop.
Annoyed with chasing myself
From one fear to another!
...

How can one say that they have love for God,
And live a life that's filled with fear?
How can one go through the motions to pray...
For answers they ignore and don't hear!
...

First classed and luxuried out,
Of credit card touch...
Writers of bounced checks,
Left perplexed but not stopped much.
...

Start fresh.
Start new.
Begin all over again...
If you have to!
...

There is nothing more difficult to change,
Than a baby's diaper!
Those who have gone down and dirty
To knock out smells...
...

First pre-heat the oven at 350degrees.
Take approximately 3lbs of fresh haddock,
Season it..
With a compound seasoning of salt
...

These seasons come,
To feast upon our urges.
Giving us reason...
To chant in song,
...
