If You ,Please

If you, please

If you are gonna mimic me.
Please do not talk to me.
If you are gonna laugh at me.
Please do not look my way.
If you’re gonna make me cry.
Please do not ask me to play.

If you are gonna insult me.
Please do not do it in public
If you are gonna throw me a rock.
Please do not hit me with a stick.
If you are gonna insult my poem
Please do not read it.

Dear Irma, Your poem If you, Please is very funny. Who would insult you or laugh at you or throw a rock at you? Not me. I think your poetry is very clever. Thanks for your kind comment on my reposting of wings. Love, Amy

Interesting write that kinda counteracts the saying that says sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara
