Funky Attitude Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You don't have to 'cover' for him.
I know when I am being avoided.
I'm not 'that' slow.
I'm know what's going on.

'Why do you say that? '

Everytime I call...
He says,
'Hello. Leave a message.
And then I hear this tone.
Waiting for the message he leaves.
Then...
For no reason at all,
He hangs up the phone.

'And...uh...
Just how long have you been doing this? '

For at least a month.
Why?
Why are you looking at me like that?

'I agree.
He probaby is avoiding you.
The next time I see him.
I will ask him what you have or have not done.'

Yeah.
Please do.
Because if there is something I've done,
He should at least tell me about it.

'Oh,
I'm sure he will tell you.
Hopefully what he says,
Will not offend.'

It's not me!
I know that.
Everytime 'he' is around 'me...
I've noticed he gets into this,
Funky attitude!
And I am not a mind reader.
