Gone Off The Handle Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There is no apparatus used,
When someone tries to regain
A status they abused!
Or nothing disrespectful,
To request a chance to win...
Those who may have felt offended,
By something offensive done
One attempts to defend!

And everyday brings a lesson that is learned.
Regardless of the teacher who supplies it!
And each of us has our days to forgive...
At least one person who we'd like to 'kill'
And not let live!
OR strangle!
At least someone who we know
That has gone 'off' the handle!
