Buy A Pair Of Gloves Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You've got to be from out of town?

'Yes, I am.
How did you know that? '

Your eyes are too bright,
And dance with clarity.
That last statement you made...
About 'doing unto others,
As you would have them do unto you...
Added to my awareness.
Since 'you' HERE are among the few.

'Well...
Certain teachings I have learned to hold onto.'

Good luck!
I hope those teachings don't slip from your fingers.

'I...
My friend,
Will always remain the optimist.'

And I...
My friend,
Suggest you buy a pair of gloves.
To fit your hands to allow you a firm grip.
