Analysis of Advanced B.S.
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many seem to have accepted and approved,
A doing of advanced B.S.
As if obligated to express and defend,
The withering away of using common sense.
To prefer,
It better to complain,
About their own nonsense to blame...
Not to be theirs to have created.
But for them they do it anyway.
In fear to be subjected to ridicule.
And suspected to be conscious and aware,
Of themselves and others around them...
Objecting to refuse being made fools.
Since this to do would for them lose,
The value of their kept pretentious status!
