Tripping Through A Double Dutch Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you...
Keep it up enough.
You will...
Keep it up enough.
And you'll...
Be tough enough.
To bend and never suffer.

People who have toughened up,
Will bend and never suffer.
They live lives without the huff and puff,
To bend and never suffer.
They know better than to bluff stuff...
Like the bluffing heard from others,
Tripping through a double Dutch.

If you...
Keep it up enough.
You will...
Keep it up enough.
And you'll...
Be tough enough.
To bend and never suffer.
Or trip through a double Dutch.

People who have toughened up,
Will bend and never suffer.
They live lives without the huff and puff,
To bend and never suffer.
They know better than to bluff stuff...
Like the bluffing heard from others,
Tripping through a double Dutch.
