There Is A Difference Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I'm glad I saw you!
Since this needs clarification.
And I'd like to set the record straight!

I did not pretend I did not know you,
When last I saw you with mutual friends.
I ignored you.

There is a difference!

And...
If you watch very closely,
I am going to apply the same technique...
In just a few seconds.

'But 'why' do you go through this process to explain? '

You're a lieing backstabbing sleazeball!

And the next time you say something about me not true...
I will be less than complimentary!

'Uh....'

Your seconds are up!
