Oops There It Is Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What 'is' WRONG with these people?

'Too much fatback.
Unaccepting of facts.
Deluded and afraid of truth.
Accusers who make excuses.
And deniers fed a daily fix of fantasies,
Produced to advocate getting some empathy.'

And 'you'?
Who are you.
What group do you represent?

'The Offenders Of Pretenders.'

I've never heard of them before.
Where do you all meet?
And when?

'I didn't think you'd be interested.
You and I are the first members.
And we just met.
Meeting adjourned.
You ready to recruit? '

Why not?

'Oops,
There it is.
O-O-P.
Oops,
There it is.
O-O-P.
Oops,
There it is...
With a truth to give.'

I'm serious.

'And...
I'm not? '
