Do Your Knickers Pinch? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One who has a mind accustom and adjusted,
To initiative and purpose and has lived disciplined...
Will be difficult to limit to the rudiments of life.
With an insistence placed upon this.
Especially if others are seeking instructions,
To that which has been accepted as written...
As a way of life to follow and live,
When those who explore with life to adventure...
Aren't seeking to convince they have book sense,
For reasons to please those believing themselves normal.

'We agree and have found your expressions offensive.
And have decided to censor your observations,
As detrimental to our beliefs.'

~And? ~

'And?
There is no 'and'.'

~There should be 'ands' 'buts' and 'ifs'...
If you perceive your normalcy actually exists,
Outside of your restricting limits.~

'Okay.
We've heard what you've had to say.
Now...
Who amongst us do 'you' believe,
Ultimately benefits? '

~Ummm...let's see.
This for me is going to be rather difficult.~

'Why? '

~I'm too busy living my own life to care.
But I will say this...
The one standing behind you,
With the sunglasses on.
I'd be very suspicious to their commitment,
And loyality to your devoted normalcy.
It seems to me...
One of you is not so accepting to the craze.~

'We find you to be obnoxious, insolent...
Insubordinate AND defiant.'

~WHEW.
Thank 'You' God.
May I ask 'two' questions? ~

'What is it? '

~Do your knickers pinch?
Are your loafers too tight? ~
