Inappropriate, Self Serving And Irresponsible Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Inappropriate, Self Serving And Irresponsible



He is in a position to do 'something'.
And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

'He could have chosen something else.
Something with less audacity.'

And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

'He could have chosen something else.
Something that doesn't bring attention to himself.'

And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

'He could have chosen something else.
Something that is accepted we all approve.'

And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

He is in a position to do 'something'.
And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

'He could have chosen something else.
Instead of the hopping on one leg.
To then do splits!
And from that...
Entertain us with a limbo.'

And when he does...
That one something that is done,
Is found not to be appropriate.

'He could disappear.
We've had enough of his tactics.'

And when he does...
His appearance is missed.
Leaving those disappointed,
By his doing of this.
And they declare his decision,
Inappropriate, self serving and irresponsible.
