Analysis of Generic Caring
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Nothing to know it,
Generically administered.
Can be declared to say,
Specifically.
Can be said cures,
With a caring to ensure...
A generic process heals to mend,
An ending of a pain endured.
Personally felt by no one else,
Who has been told...
Even faith to keep is no guarantee.
Without risks and chances to take.
Regardless how expensive or cheap,
The cost it pays to remain and stay...
Depending upon opinions,
Freely given by someone else.
Knowing nothing about,
What to anticipate or expect.
From a caring done to perform it,
Generically wishing for the best,
For an outcome unexpected.
Yet prepared to accept either way.
'Is it possible you can show me,
You are personally involved?'
'Sure.
Let me go get my timecard.
To show you what time I punched in.
To then put on,
My identification badge.
And while I am doing that,
Do not remove your oxygen mask!
