To Whom It May Concern



I have been approached by some as to why,
as to why it may read as Shakespeare.
Emily Dickinson, Sara Teasedale, extraordinary,
etcetera, etcetera.

The king and I, Siam where I am with only you or not.

Up until now I believe, I believe
that for free, I believe most whom can read
have gotten their monies worth.

Never having taken an English class,
past the seventh grade, some few can not argue
with truth so why try.

Band I took twice and excelled,
above all the rest as well, large ego aside.
Having read the encyclopedia britanica,
every year in class while the rest of the kids did not.
You can lead the horse to water,
and ride him or her till it drops, is that smart?

After the eighth grade I was done with that because
the rest of the bullies then were and still are.
Three G.E.D.s I took and passed because,
I needed to see for myself if one could learn
out side of traditional learning and excel.
Scoring twenty points higher each time over the last
it's called drive.

Ambition to drive up past and beyond the best.
Shakespeare was bored, Emily had some times
cried her self to sleep some night's in a man's world.
The very best did not know about being bipolar
manic depression like Abraham Lincoln.
His photographs from eighteen sixty to sixty five
reflect to another
what an over achiever can do like he did.

Ego this ego that not understanding some times
what I write that's O.K.
Some of what I write can only be understood by those
whom know what I have witnessed and
have had done to me.
This is not a biography or excerpt.
Either you have it or you don't.
Wisdom to some is just having control over another
imposing your will to benifit you're self
at the expense of another and call it trade.

So I write like them because I just can, that's just that.
Be the best you can be for you not one whom can't.
You are who you are and can change for the best,
or you can't, though few must try.
The rest buy what they buy because they saw some one
on T.V. who was never fat and won't be or not be
for you, yet you buy all your lies from them.
Fat beautiful skinny wet not moist ful lips.
Snicker, snicker
you are all shocked and have sex because it feels good.
And I would talk to my daughter about a vibrator
than have her sneak out and get pregnant.

Because of your child hood hang ups about those triple J cups.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

sir poet, how weird iip! weird that i just used the name shakespeare in a response to you about your comment on my 'i'll quit poetry' poem. THEN i decided to read one of yours and, drawn to the title to whom it may concern' i happened to pick this one. i have not finished reading it. AND THE WORDING HERE why it may read as Shakespeare EVEN SEEMS TO FIT THE OCCASION! .how do these coincidences happen? ? ? did you REALLY read the (all of it?) E.B.? i used to use the World Book Encyclopedia when i was a kid. a very important message for me and others: Ego this ego that not understanding some times what I write that's O.K. :) i'm into pointing out typos. i assume this is one; you may not care. to benifit you're self ....actually two misspellings and I made and corrected two typos of my own in the last line i typed! the next best lines (or maybe the best lines, for me) in this poem are: And I would talk to my daughter about a vibrator than have her sneak out and get pregnant. i wrote my teen? daughter (at the time) a letter in which i discussed masturbation and, i believe, contraception. i had moved out of the house when she was almost five years old but kept in close touch with her with visits every week until she was 11 i think [then visits got less frequent; that's a story in itself]. i assume she read the letter, though i do not remember discussing it with her. she subsequently took her first birth control pill in a restaurant sitting across from me in a booth, shortly before she graduated from college. she said there were OTHER THINGS that she and her longtime boyfriend could do before they started having intercourse. she became a doctor, married (a new boyfriend) and just had her first child this month. good luck with your daughter. she is lucky to have you! ! ! ! in case anyone else was wondering: Cup sizes vary Cup sizes vary from one country to another. The larger the cup size, the bigger the variation.[60] Over the bust / band measurement difference and cup size [61] Difference (inches) [1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Cupsize U.S. AA A B C D DD/E DDD/F DDDD/G H I J K L M N - - - Cupsize UK/Austr. A B C D DD E F FF G GG H HH J JJ K KK L LL Surveys of bra sizes tend to be very dependent on the population studied and how it was obtained. For instance, one U.S. study reported that the most common size was 34B, followed by 34C, that 63% were size 34 and 39% cup size B. However, the survey sample was drawn from 103 Caucasian student volunteers at a Midwest U.S. university aged 18–25, and excluded pregnant and nursing women.[62] Bra maker Triumph conducted a survey in 2007 to determine the percentage of women wearing four cup sizes, and found that 57% of British women, more than any other country, need a D cup.[63] Triumph Survey Country D C B A ETC. bri :) p.s. thanks, iip, for sharing your poetry/thoughts/insights. and this poem was not (too) difficult to understand at all.
