Analysis of Whine Made From Ripened Gripes
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
More are heard to whine these days.
By decisions they have made.
And unprepared to accept disappointment.
To then begin to gripe about this and that.
With a doing this to believe,
Someone else...
Should be held accountable,
For actions taken without asking anyone...
What would they do,
In a situation to make...
Generically hypothetical.
Avoiding the chance to become mistaken,
As one trying to find reason and rhythm...
To convince,
Their 'whine' to make...
Had been aged,
From vintaged ripened 'gripes'!
