Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Speak up I can't hear you,
With those mumbles done.
Do you seek my attention,
With those mumbles done.
...

You want to come on the ranch,
And do a bit of hi-dee-hey.
You come expecting everyone to do,
What it is you say, yo!
...

Do you know,
What I think I do?
Your messages are sending me a meaning.
I interpret most of them as being mixed.
...

It is no longer a matter of them telling the truth.
No...It isn't!
And it should be a concern for those who know it,
As it exists in their gut and as it has to them meant,
...

A cat with nine lives,
Isn't sitting wondering...
Where to go and who to visit,
On vacation.
...

They've selected to bait their own opponents,
In a tired game of 'We'll Watch Them Fight'...
Then defeat them both.
To quicken the expiration their own existence.
...

Smacked and slapped against the wall,
Is not magnifique.
Although some may just enjoy...
This touch of quick awakening.
...

Finally you have found time to listen.
And I am happy that comprehension,
Has moved to the top of your list.
...

You can make it better!
If you insist that it is.
By getting better,
With a doing more of it!
...

Wouldn't it be easier,
To schedule your dilemmas?
Prioritizing them for effectiveness.
Leaving those you know will repeat,
...
