Accept My Apologies

I’m sorry that I had to rob a bank To buy your lavish aquarium tank Starkist rejects share a cell And Charlie’s begun to smell Our debtors’ prison is bleak to be frank If you can find a way to make my bail Criminal activity I’ll curtail I’ll acquiesce to your wish Bid adieu to this foul fish And worship you like you’re the Holy Grail I’ll never mention the credit card fees That swelled from your holiday shopping sprees You’ll find I’m truly contrite For snoring all through the night And inadvertently cutting the cheese Can you forgive me? I don’t deserve you You’re the cream of the crop; I am just pooh Thank you for pointing this out Let’s put an end to this bout To make reparations, I’ll ingest bamboo

Very, very biting. You write so well. This is a most enjoyable poem to read. Congratulations on your winning position in the contest. I'd like to see part II of this poem. What happens from all this 'truly contrite'ness? Is there anyway you can treat us to a part II? Congratulations Carolyn. I really enjoyed this one. Love, Deb

I don't think its a very good idea to ingest bamboo Carolyn, Ha Ha perhaps sugar cane? although you might get a bit hyperactive? all the best for the new year.

LIfe can be distraughtful at times. But when there is love and true friendship, apologies are not necessary. Forgiveness comes readily. As for the bamboo...I have heard that some varieties taste very good! It's all in the choice and preparation, I guess. This is an excellent write with strong emotion. May God bring you happiness and more understanding from those you love. Lovingly, Dane Ann
