Said To Say It Said
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If heard to hear repeatedly heard,
To hear what is heard repeatedly said...
Known to hear it said heard to say.
And still left not to understand,
When holding someone else's hand...
From one piece to another,
Of a picture painted.
Making it easier to see words heard,
In utmost clarity.
Yet...
Asked,
Why were words heard to hear them said...
Necessary.
If a picture already painted,
Had been a better way to save time...
Than trying to be all intelligent about it!
