Only The Witless Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Only the witless,
Will believe they can compare...
Pears with grapes
To have a similar taste.
Because they had seen them together,
After being packed in a grocery bag.
And this is evidence enough,
For anyone to declare...
A knowing of everything about them.
And a past they have had before growing,
Not only different in appearance.
But also totally from separate backgrounds.
Yet those witless will argue,
There are others who knew too...
Who had known them also,
From a youth they all shared.
And...
Can prove this regardless,
Without the grapes or pears being aware of it.

'You can't tell me what I know.
I remember it as if it was yesterday.
I could care less what you say,
About a difference today they make.'

Only the witness,
Will keep their attempts...
To make others believe,
Their point of view...
Is the only one others should have too.
