Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When a long standing joke,
Has lost its 'funny'.
And lies told are found to be untrue.
What then do those who laugh and lie,
...

I will 'assist' you.
And commit myself,
To assisting you.
However...
...

I'm confused!

If he has been labelled a fool...
Why are they upset?
...

Midnight in my mind,
Does not stay rested.
Nor is there something,
I wish to test.
...

What's done becomes more offensive,
When the intention does not receive...
The expected attention.
...

You are much different,
From the kind of person...
I heard you are and would be.
...

Preview I do,
Untaken steps.
To prepare and let,
My mind project...
...

They always have something ungrateful to say.
Those losing a battle with youth.
Doing things done they use to do.
With a familiar point of view.
...

Give them what they want.
And their limitations expect.
It may not be what you wish.
But at least you will have fewer headaches.
...

If there is anything to learn...
Do not prepare a festival,
For those already expressing ungratefulness...
To chew on nibbles and bits.
...
