Announcing Achievements Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Announcing Achievements



As most of you know,
I knew nothing about receiving...
Two days ago and at noon.
A declaration of my genius.
Skills and unmatched abilities.
Or any awards,
Announcing a list of my achievements.
Still I am left trembling with humility.
That's what they say and heard.
Before this press conference.

Yes.
You.
Your question?

"Mister Dynamic?
How do you explain,
Saying you are the only one capable...
To fix and solve all our problems.
Where this, as of yet...
Appears to be true.
Wassup wit dat? "

How nasty a question.
Where are you from and representing?
Those living in the bowels of the ghetto.
You people!
Next question.
And please do not be indignant.
Or disrespectful.
At least honor,
The office and position I hold.
Yes.
No not you.
The gorgeous one.

"Who me? "

Of course, baby.
Who else would I be gazing at?

"Oh.
Will your stop.
Your Graciousness?
Even though we are in the midst,
Of a pandemic.
That has already changed,
The 'normalcy'...
Of our quality of life.
Spreading like American cheese.
Diseasing every belief we have.
How is it that you manage,
To look so terrific.
With such a wonderful,
And kept maintain golden image? "

That...
I do with you agree.
What a significant and important question.
Well...
With utmost honesty and truth.
As most of you know,
I have more than an abundance of that.
Only my loyal and devoted STAFF.
Will tell you...
Day and night.
And believe this or not,
Night and day.
My main objective,
Is to first serve to please my needs.
Then if time permits,
As most of you know.
I am seen rolling up my sleeves,
In preparation to listen...
About the urgency of 'your' needs.
And horrific are the ones,
Created to grab hold of my attention.
Anymore questions?

"Yes. I have..."

Great.
I appreciate your time.
