The Lecturer
I don’t need you to lecture me
I don’t need you to hector me
I don’t need you to point out
The error of my ways.
I’m capable of thought myself
I too have learned my lessons
I detest your abject misery
Your supercilious nays.
You don’t know everything my dear
You don’t have dibs on knowledge
You cannot force your views on me
Hey, I too went to college!
You make folk feel uncomfortable
Because you don’t let go
You lecture, hector, make life hell
The one who always knows.

A sad old git, somewhat spiteful … so sad … what makes some people like that, I wonder?

I think we’ve all had experience with a “lecturer” like that in our lives.

Yes, shame really, more to be pitied than blamed perhaps?

They seem to have acquaintances rather than friends … or are maybe married to a clone and would spoil another couple!

I have a woman who is in this poem of yours
I have never met her, but she is the lover of a very dear person I care very much about
she seems to think I am interferring in her “fixing” him and that I need to stay away
so she can work on their being happy…
*sigh* I don’t understand people like tis, and I am so grateful
for if I did, I would be like them…
a great poem Polly….
Take Care…
