String Pullers Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The ones who are best,
With a kept interest...
To produce a good show.
Without it known who they are.
Or their qualifications known.
Would be the string pullers.
Those who script the text.
Of every word heard delivered.
And rehearsed to perfection,
By puppets and hand held muppets.
Added to attract distraction and...
Moved around used as directed.
For entertainment purposes with this kept,
To keep an audience amused effectively.
No matter what the price expected paid.
Or the cost of it at their expense.
The string pullers,
Will always have their hands...
Unseen behind the scenes yet, in command.
