I'Ll Be Outside In The Car...Waiting Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

They will welcome you.
And shower you with accolades.
You will feel embraced and accepted.
UNTIL...
You do or suggest something said,
That is in their best interest...
They dislike and despise.
With a dismissing of your efforts,
Of wanting to be too close to them.
Your jaw will drop.
And your eyes will pop from your head.

Then they will attempt to shred you apart!
Quicker than a rabid bobcat...
Leaving you with memories,
Of their viciousness...
You will not soon forget.

'Comeon! Don't be so negative.
THESE people?
They are my friends.
You just don't like them,
Because they are outgoing.
And extremely cordial.
That's all they have shown to me thus far! '

You will discover,
Just how far outgoing they can be.
You go ahead and make that speech,
About what it is you can do!
For 'them' not 'you'...
And the proof will be yours forever,
For you to believe, see and keep!

I'll be outside in the car...
Waiting for you,
When they begin to crank up that heat.
To get us from around here.
Faster than you can run on your feet.

Go ahead...
You've just been introduced,
With thunderous applause.

I will be on the otherside of that door.
Oh...
And grab one of those bottles of wine.
The one on the table nearest to the exit.
