Analysis of Contributed Opinions Given



Come they do unsolicited to include,
Enticing accusations.
With mouth watering allegations.
From drooling lips to awaiting ears.
Close enough for a tongue to touch.
And open to appetite the latest gossip.
Told exclusively delivered.
As heard to hear,
The freshness of it!

'Never in your wildest dreams to imagine,
Who has a secret lover.
And believing to keep discreet about it!'

'Uh...
Let's see.
Could it be...
The same two dudes,
Walking around telling other people...
Of the same sex holding hands?
What they should not do,
That makes it obvious how they feel.
But would be better respected,
If they said nothing publicly.
And kept their sexual preferences,
Discreet and to themselves?'

'Yeah.
Right!'

'And...
When you play pool to hopefully win.
Who gathers to then rack your balls?'

'What?
What does the playing of pool have to do,
With MY sexual preference?'

'Well...
It's my opinion to give it,
That your hands kept in your pockets.
Seek a partner to assist,
The proving of your practice.
Keeping your fingers nimble.
And prepared to use on a cue stick!
You know...
A more real and less discreet one.'

'And you?
Who are you?
The proper etiquette to use,
In public police?'

'No.
Just an observer of hypocrites.
Who want to have what they say believed.
To then be the biggest freaks in private!'

'I am not a freak!'
Seriously.
I'm not!'

'Okay.
I believe you.'

'I'm not.
Really I'm not.
For real.
Believe me, I'm not!'

'Hey.
Calm down.
I believe you.'

'These warts on my left hand,
Is a family condition.'

'Remove your hands away from my face!
And turn around to point that 'thing',
In another direction.
Keep your desperation to yourself!'
