Sucking Tongues And Pouting Lips Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

All day long,
There is a playing of catch up.
And follow the leader.

And all day long all their lives,
This is done!
The following behind someone.

Sucking tongues and pouting lips,
They do as if
They were born to do this.

Sharing complaints and voicing opinions,
They do as if this is routine.
Everyday, everynight.
From Sunrise 'til noon!
And under moonlight.

All day long,
There is a playing of catch up.
And follow the leader.

And all day long all their lives,
This is done!
The following behind someone.

Sucking tongues and pouting lips,
They do as if
They were born to do this.

Sharing complaints and voicing opinions,
They do as if this is routine.
And for them,
It is!
