A Learnt Me

CEE

My effrontery
In Not, kneejerk,
Respecting my stepfather
Made my Mom’s kneebrain jerk the equation
“Breadwinner = Respect”,
Which he once underlined
In ciggie-raspy-boom baritone cannonade,
“YES!! THAT’S ONE THING THAT HASTA BE LEARNT!!”

Um
How ‘bout I learned to respect
Only those people who were endlessly Nice to me?
Which, hasn’t exactly worked out
But, if anything would have kept me out of
The military,
That would
So, Thanks
Can I get you an ice water?
