Time To Belittle Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What is so funny?

'How small minds gather with other small minds,
To then associate with more smaller minds...
Who all find the time to belittle.'

In height?
Or in thought process?
Which one?
Why are you staring at me?

'Jokes are not suppose to be analyzed.
That's why they are called jokes.'

Oh!
I get it 'now'.
Not to 'belittle'.
But to be 'little'.

'Forget it.
Just forget it.'

Don't be made at me.
You could have kept that one to yourself.
I would have used 'disparaged' instead, anyway.

'Father...?
Why is it 'me'? '

Stop looking up in the sky.
That answer is not there.
Trust me.
