Analysis of Proving A Wrong Made Right
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When anyone has done all they can.
And beyond that to prove,

'You're proving me to be right not wrong.
Get your facts straight.'
'It's all in the interpretation.'
'The more you talk,
The less sense is made.'
'A picture paints a thousand words.
However...
In this case,
Action speaks louder...
To convince the making of sense.
Leaving words to hear unnecessary to use!'
'I...
