Analysis of Only A Fool
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Only a fool,
Will go out of their way...
To choose just to prove,
Someone unknown...
Can be easily picked to make,
Into a fool too!
Not to know,
What a fool is.
Or identify what fools do.
In some places,
Where fools are known...
To look down on others.
With a doing first to disrespect themselves.
Then to regret this mistake too late.
Done to expect,
What has been shown to another...
Publicly exposed.
Yet hope,
This disclosure...
Had not been recognized at all to notice,
The truth for what it is displayed!
