Getting It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Some find that the only attention they can get,
Is to demand it.

I'm from the 'old school'.
IF I should get any at all,
I appreciate it.
It's not expected.

I often felt that way around my ex-wife.
Who I do admit...
Did have unique gifts,
And talents.

And 'getting it' was mostly,
From a charitable deed she delivered.
Established and released...
If we agreed to meet on the same foundation.
Which then mutually satisfied our donations.
