Let Us Not Generalize People Folks

I accommodate everyone I see, because I grew up in a small town. It is what we do, or so I thought because my mother told us we did. Until I met others who did not know what I was talking about. Why are you so accommodating? He asked me. What makes you this way? He shook his head ‘no’ when I explained that all people in small towns do this. When he told me he grew up in a small town, I was out of words. I would have never guessed it; for I truly thought we were all the same. Just one more misconception to put into my let’s not generalize people files. I have six million and forty-two of them, so you would think I could learn.

I did not enter, because I am going to be putting all of my stuff into my own books one of these days. Thanks for looking.

Caren, I'm small town and accept your treatise in this poem. Worse fates in this world for sure. -Richard

I have to say there does seem to be a propensity for taking care of everyone when you grow up KNOWING everyone.
