Hypothetically
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Understandable this can be.
That someone still in grade school.
And going through the process.
May not yet connect,
The reason why certain lessons to learn...
Are no less important than others to digest.
Understandable this can be.
With patience to have sometimes to leave.
An adult going through a similar process.
And objects to what is being taught to teach?
Would rather turn what is being taught,
Into their own personal comedy show.
To misunderstand,
Everywhere someone like this goes...
Few are finding,
Their lives to live found laughable.
Especially at an age to reach to discover,
Many long past their bloom to have ripened...
Still clinging on a vine of youth.
Although...
Have no clue as to who they are.
Even after leaving their 50s.
Lie through their 60s.
To pretend in their 70s...
A mind still wanting to stay in the playground,
Is an envious place...
For one's mind to remain.
No matter who believes,
Being in their 40s...
Is the new breast feeder.
Needing a diaper change!
Uh...
Hypothetically speaking.
