PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You, me, people,

I could be mistaken,

Because I have been,

Often,

But---

I do think,

That people have a right,

To inflect a smidgen,

Or a bit,

Or a touch,

Of their personality,

Into all they do,

And too,

They have, at the same time,

A responsibility to,

When in conversation with others,

For reason of accomplishing a task,

Or even just enjoyment,

Or making small talk,

To acknowledge to some degree,

The other person's personality,

And assess to it, a like or dislike,

And either chuck it, 

And focus on the subject matter 

Of the conversation,

Or enjoy it as they choose,

But certainly not allow 

For your like,

Or dislike,

To control or influence them,

In their evaluation process

On a given topic, and then 

Take out aggression 

On an individual

For their inability to

Place their feelings

About one's personality aside.

But alas! There IS a viable solution

For such individuals, which would be,

To purchase one dozen eggs,

Because if someone's personality

Bothers you, you can then 

Remove one from the carton,

And suck on it, 

And if it breaks,

You still have 11 more,

Just be careful of the shell.
