Civil Premeditated Acts
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
When has an apology stated,
Prevented an intended misdeed...
From being stopped initiated.
Before an act has been committed.
Known to show,
One fully awake.
And conscious...
Of every premeditated move made.
Planned.
In detail done to do.
As if to apologize,
Completes the activity to accept.
With a forgiveness given expected!
Leaving no one disappointed,
By going through...
A proper displaying of appropriate,
Protocols.
Thoughtfully self edited.
And...
Determined to have been,
Both civil and diplomatic.
Without one sign or hint of hypocrisy!
'I just want to say this to the both of you.
Well done.'
