Those Mocking Birds I Use To Hear Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who I am,
Has never been shown...
To ignite from anyone a specifc interest.
What I 'should' or 'could' be doing...
Has followed to taunt me,
With words heard by programmed mocking birds.

'You should do this.
You should do that.
You can do this.
You can't do that.
What else do you do?
Besides nothing at all that we find attracts.'

And as I have proven I can do what I wish...
Those mocking birds I use to hear,
Have yet to try to fly with a doing to prove their own merits.
Beyond their restricted limits to get themselves embarrassed.
Although I have seen a few eating crow downlow and dirty.
Re-enacting how they can also be vultures to prove they are worthy.
