Analysis of In Full Attendance
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Thick.
With a measured smothering volume.
Bricks.
Can not penitrate through heads like this.
Even the sounds of an approaching fog horn,
Seems unable to pierce the density.
Wrong they are.
To know they are wrong.
Yet awaiting they do to blame and accuse,
Those they knew to be right all along.
However...
That time to find to blow their own horn,
Had been kept to do it done...
When followers of ignorance,
Was unmistakably in full attendance!
There is no better time than the right time,
To shine the spotlight upon fools!
