MISUNDERSTANDING
How cruel,
this English language institution,
with all its vagueries and traps.
We tred warily
for fear of humiliation;
for fear of stumbling
as the audience gasps.
The love letters are rushed,
but not by the old hand that beckons,
or caresses to touch,
but by the mechanical keys
that catch the weary fingertip's crunch.
We slip,
and count the cost of such folly-
hoping for salvation in our hour of need.
But then the verdict comes,
so swift its reply
but with no judge to read....
And yet,
the image shown, is still
of the black cap...
...You are guilty of treason-
and the sentence for such is this:
Ten years more of solitude,
for the grammitical errors
you missed...
