Analysis of Let Us Not Forget



...and students.
As the holiday season,
Begins to approach.
With a touching us,
In the most vulnerable places.
Kept to keep protected and safe.
Until we find that special one unknown.
Who has sworn under oath,
That everything downloaded to get...
Over the internet is as honest as truth can be.
Regardless if a 'selfie' sent,
Behind them is a calendar printed.
Thirty years ago.
Now to feel a regret meant.
So...
Let us not forget,
The true meaning why we celebrate...
Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!
No matter how such distractions,
May distort our temporary to pass...
Urges to please those satisfactions.

'Uh...
Teach?'

Yes, Dominick.
Your question?

'Hypothetically speaking.
Of course.'

Of course, Dominick.
Continue.

'If I was to be,
Accidently in the wrong chatroom.
About two weeks ago.
Not to know it was exclusively used,
By aging adult perverts.
Would it be too late and confess,
A picture I downloaded...
Had been actually an exaggeration,
Of my nakedness.
And a meeting to agree upon,
On New Years Day.
To display to another,
What is not mine to cause disappointment.
Should or should I not,
Confess this personally?
Hypothetically speaking.'

Well...
Is truth and honesty to keep,
More important to you...
Than deceiving someone else unknown?

'Should I forget the month of August?
And what the heat and humidity can do,
To thicken and keep stiff,
Our wishes kept to keep.
Since 1992?
Hypothetically speaking.
Of course!'

Let us not forget,
The upcoming holidays to celebrate...
Are not meant to gratify,
Our disappointing expectations.
Remember...
Everything to show exposed,
Over the internet...
Is specifically used,
To entertain those...
Hoping to keep their business to themselves.

'So...
Hypothetically,
You are saying...
To be or not to be disappointed,
May or may not be the best advice...
Given to someone,
With an appetite to share...
That with someone also craving to meet,
Who is equally seeking...
The same pleasures.
On New Year's Day!'

Let me just say this...
Resolutions to make on New Year's Eve.
Are seldom kept.
And many of them made,
Become broken the moment...
New Year's Day arrives!
Leaving few disappointed or surprised by it!
Stay safe.
Stay happy and enjoy!

'Teach?
I have a question.'

Yes.
What's your question, Romero?

'This conversation we are having?
Is about the holidays, right?'

Of course.
Why?

'Well...
The staying safe, happy and enjoying them.
I understood.
But...
Can we go back,
To the hypothetical part of it?
That's when most of our interests,
Began to peak.
I couldn't believe it.'

What was it you could not believe?

'The classroom got so quiet.
As if we all were anticipating,
A 'hypothetical' demonstration.'
