Analysis of Just Another Fool

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



It takes a fool to become one,
By others already homemade.
And in some places,
There are a multitude...
Of ethnic races involved.
Leaving no one left stunned to wonder,
This to witness is as common to see...
As a way of life.
Most accept as inspirational.
Motivating and an incentive to achieve,
Without attempting to appear...
Wishing to want attention to get.
By being different.
And noticed standing out in a crowd!
