If I convinced my neighbors I had been invited to protect... <br />Another neighbor's backyard from enemies and thieves. <br />And this had gone on for years, <br />As I collected donations with a squeezing of everything... <br />Left from the pockets of those who volunteered their money, <br />To continue this deception I led others to believe. <br /> <br />And that neighbor one day was seen, <br />Giving away all that was prized in that backyard... <br />To their...'enemies? ' as all perceived. <br />What should I expect those surrounding neighbors to think of me? <br />A fool? Or in cahoots? Maybe both. <br />Or...believing I was going to secretly get what was given?<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fool-or-in-cahoots/
