Lack Of Interest Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is in the minds of those,
Who believe they can organize an event...
A week or two before the event is to take place.
And then left to be disappointed,
By the lack of interest shown.

'I would love to participate,
With the giving of my time.
But calling me at midnight,
Two days before the event...
Expecting my excitement.
When you spent an entire year,
Procrastinating?

Thank you for your show of respect.
But at this hour,
I would like to get more rest.'

What is in the minds of those,
Who believe they can organize an event...
A week or two before the event is to take place.
And then left to be disappointed,
By the lack of interest shown.

With an advertising campaign,
Gone unknown.

~We didn't think you'd be that serious about it,
Since we are just throwing it together.
With a hope of its success.~
