Anyone Else With A Suggestion? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone Else With A Suggestion?



Has anyone thought of recommendations,
Besides a facing of truth to eliminate frustrations?
Has anyone written their suggestions to read?
With a remembering any offensive comments,
Will not be considered positive...
Since we've decided at the last meeting,
Negativity is not to be accepted or received.

'Yes.
I do confess I have a suggestion.'

Remember we do not wish to offend anyone.
Do 'we'?

'Oh, I am sure I will not offend anyone.
I suggest our next meeting be held at the playground.
And all of us can think of it as recess,
Before our next test is given.
And then after class we all can pretend we passed.'

Brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
Thereby giving everyone an opportunity,
To lie to each other and to themselves...
As to not being prepared to then blame the teacher.

'Exactly.'

I love it.
Anyone else with a suggestion?
Well...
I can say this meeting was very productive.
