Trouble Gets Double Treatment Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When,
A stretching ends.
A yawn begins.
When that stretching ends.

When,
A thought process...
Accepts mediocrity achieved,
To be one's best.
And this,
Unconsciously...
Stirs the acceptance,
Of a restless nonsense.
Trouble gets...
Double treatment,
That...
Upsets.
Those,
Who protest...
Growth.
And,
Regrets...
A foolishness,
One...
Protects!

YES!
Trouble gets,
Double treatment...
That,
Upsets.
Those,
Who protest...
Growth.
And,
Regrets...
A foolishness,
One...
Protects!

When,
A stretching ends.
A yawn begins.
When that stretching ends.

With taxes applied,
At the max!
