Analysis of Contributed Nonsense

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Why is it,
A door once closed.
To not allow or permit,
Foolishness to scrutinize...
Under microscope to identify,
The worthless emptiness of it.
And with a concentrated effort,
To search and seek...
That which had value.
With a benefit to advance the minds,
Of all mankind.

Yet today,
More people seem quick to jump,
On an already crowded bandwagon.
Filled with wanna bees,
Imitators, deceivers and believers...
Of their own lies told to themselves.
Just to contribute their nonsense,
As being authentic.
Although not to know...
Their nonsense to claim authentic.
Had been long ago,
Documented and authorized.
Notarized, certified and sits,
Among historic archives.
As pioneered original nonsense.
Leaving no one,
Conscious or not to believe...
Their nonsense,
To submit done as innovative.
Should feel humiliated and embarrassed,
When it is revealed...
The true nonsense creator,
Did not just sit to easily plagiarize...
The craftsmanship and quality,
Of their nonsense.
Thinking it will be compared,
To the mediocrity of the nonsense today.

'We are sorry to inform you of this.
However...
Your nonsense to claim authentic?
Is mediocre at its best.
We have research our archives thoroughly.
And have discovered,
The best authentic nonsense...
Nowhere else in the World yet revealed.'

'Even with his name on it I forged?'

'Not only that,
But your grammatical use of language...
Is precise.
Flawlessly done with hints of sickness.
Boring and blemishless.
And correctly understood to understand.
Leaving nothing to imagine,
What was not there but meant to mean.'

'Your explanation is confusing.
Pointless and makes no sense at all.'

'Exactly.
And that's why we know,
This work of yours is not authentic!'
