When Re-Creating Common Sense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Increasingly seen on a daily basis,
Are chips falling away...
From once stable foundations.
And yet they can not keep up,
With the hiring of new maintenance crews.
Shouldn't they be securing those foundations,
Before they hire clean up crews?

'That depends on interpretations.'

What do you mean?

'Well...
They are making attempts to re-invent,
The meaning and purpose...
Of those old foundations.
And after tons of re-writes,
Nothing has been approved.
And those maintenance crews,
Have been hired to haul away...
All the trash that has resulted,
From those re-writes not yet approved.'

I see.
So they are seeking the right interpretation,
Before updating the old foundations?

'It takes time to convince,
When re-creating COMMON sense.'
