Exciting Promises Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Whose idea was it to appoint,
Those most liked...
To be aggressive in moving forward,
A progessive agenda that had been our wish?
Where oh where are the results of this?

'It had been determined those who were too direct,
And accepted no excuses had, in fact, upset...
With a rubbing a few of us the wrong way.
To make comments that bordered on disrespect.'
The results? We all agree with patience and time,
Results we will get.'

Are those picked and liked,
Competent enough to fight for what is right?
Are they aggressive with initiative to push forward,
Our expectations with a doing to progress our agenda?

'The agenda has yet to be discussed.
No one has had time of late to bring that up.
But...
Those most liked and we have picked,
Have proposed some exciting promises.'

To do...
What?

'You know...
Begin with effort to step forward.'

And...
Hopefully with initiative as well?

'We haven't gotten to that just yet.
That, we are sure,
Will be mentioned at the next session.'

And the 'next' session has been scheduled 'when'?

'First we must introduced those we've selected,
With a social event that has not yet been announced.
And then we have to ensure those we like and have picked,
Will find the time to prioritize our agenda.
Giving us all an opportunity to dress appropriately,
For effect to impress.'
