Leave Of Absence Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Whatever mind you say,
You are comfortably in...
I recommend you apply,
For a formal leave of absence.

There is something outside,
That which you have grown attached...
Doesn't quite match,
A security you should have with it.

A pool player knows the object of the game,
Is to pocket all balls before the eighth one drops.
Not to dropp the eight ball or scratch.
Meaning...
If you say you play,
But not suitable to address it as your best effort...
Why show up at all just to bluff?

The players on the field these days,
Do not show up to mentor!

Whatever mind you say,
You are comfortably in...
And allows you to contribute,
To the attributes of others...
I recommend you apply,
For a formal leave of absence.
Eventually,
You will perceive and realize the benefit of this.

Take the suggestion and run with it!
And sit and ponder this without argument.
The players on the field these days,
Do not show up to mentor!
