Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

For a Favor

      ‘Por favor’ means ‘for a favor’
         ‘cos that’s what ‘please’ is about

       A pleasant way to request one’s desire ~
        unlike ‘our leaders’ who scream and who shout

sara Etgen-Baker June 18, 2025 at 2:21 PM you nailed it, Gershon. Seems as if our leaders don't know how to seek another's favor....screaming and shouting does nothing positive (in my opinion). Nicely penned, yellow rose

Dr. Ivan Edwards June 18, 2025 at 2:03 PM A beautiful reflection on the power of words. Wouldn’t the world be better if more leaders embraced the humility of 'por favor'? Sharp, elegant, and true. The way you contrast courtesy with power struggles is masterful!

John Lawless June 18, 2025 at 6:39 AM it would seem that the gov't is run by those who give favors, accept favors, and vote based on those they favor based on the favors received...and now due
