I Don'T, But...
It is simply shocking how a teeny
conjunctive word, a tiny little "but"
becomes precursor for the agony
of some. I will explain exactly what
I mean. Example: Have you ever had
a conversation like the following?
The person talking saying, "having this to add
I'm not intending hurting your feelings
but...then proceeds to do precisely what
he said he wouldn't do. Explanation?
It's ignorance! Instead of keeping shut
his haughty mouth, ending conversation.
Continues hurting monologue uncut
until your forced to say, you kiss my butt!
