Analysis of It Doesn't Matter
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It doesn't matter what you meant not to do.
It doesn't matter,
Who it was you did not tell it to.
It doesn't matter,
What excuses you use too late.
Too late is too late to wait,
For another date to procrastinate.
It doesn't matter what you wanted to prove.
It doesn't matter,
When that opportunity came past due.
It doesn't matter.
Time given doesn't return to get.
To believe more of it you can wish.
As you sit enjoying moving your lips.
It doesn't matter when the matter,
Has up to move on.
It doesn't matter whatever that had mattered.
It does not matter,
When the matter of it has up and gone.
It doesn't matter.
It just doesn't matter at all!
