Offensive comments made, <br />To those marked by settled sedateness. <br />And often stuck up with prim self-restraint. <br />Sober quickly when their ears are heated, <br />By someone who has experienced living life... <br />With a choosing to refuse, <br />To adhere to a political correctness... <br />That interferes with a reality that is. <br /> <br />'Young man... <br />I was quite appalled by your statements.' <br /> <br />~I'm sure if you removed that weave, <br />False eyelashes... <br />And scraped that thick makeup off your face, <br />You'd be standing here appalled by yourself. <br />Since the others you are trying to convince, <br />That my offensive comments made were improper... <br />Would run away in fear, <br />From a reality you have yet to expose.~ <br /> <br />'Do you hold a grudge against me for something? ' <br /> <br />~No. <br />I am not that brave to discover, <br />Who or what it is you really are. <br />I'll just take my 'random' offensive statements made, <br />And leave it alone. <br />If that's okay? ~ <br /> <br />'Here. <br />Take my business card. <br />You have no idea how much we have in common. <br />I like direct men. <br />There's so much we two can discuss.' <br /> <br />~I have an idea. <br />That shadow appearing isn't completely hidden. <br />And I too wear a size eleven shoe. <br />I'll pass on doing any business with you.~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
