I must apologize (again) for my last poem

Not its fault; poor thing, of course.

I must apologize (again), for my last poem

For sorrow; like tea, is drunk in many sips.

Not its fault, poor thing, of course.

It didn't know any better.

It has an eight-year old's grasp of technique,

I blame the mobiles and the telly,

I must apologize (again) for my last poem

Not its fault; poor thing, of course

I should have known better;

As a man or a mouse,

And had no business,

In squeaking up now.
