Answers To Questions Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Answers to questions,
Are not always the responses...
Received with anticipation,
To hear and get.
That satisfies and is approved.
Regardless,
Of whatever it is to be asked...
By anyone seeking,
A picture to paint with details.
Credentials,
And authenticity of the speaker.
Where and how knowledge was obtained.
To qualify the answer to be given.
Without an eyebrow to raise,
On a puzzled looking face.
Seldom will a response,
To a question to answer...
Stop anyone like this,
From wondering how many questions...
They are permitted and should ask,
Until an answer they expect is accepted.
Even when told,
No one should sit...
Fearing any question wanting to have answered,
Is too stupid to ask.
Although,
Not often heard to be told...
There are some questions to ask,
Are exceptions to that rule.
And those who ask stupid questions,
Should keep their mouths closed.
To not expose themselves to be fools.
Or clowns looking around,
Seeking approval for their stupidity!
