About This Poem

Excuses

I didn’t mean to do it, it wasn’t me that did
I wasn’t even here that day; I think I was in Madrid.

When the power went out, it wasn’t me I know
If you make toast in the bath, that makes the power blow.

I know it can’t be me, cos I wasn’t even there
So I mean it was some one else, if you really care.

I remember it was cold that night, I didn’t have a coat
I couldn’t have done it you know, I told you in that note.

I left it there so that you would know, that I had not been near
I mean that it was after; I thought I had been seen near here. 

I was going to call you, but I lost my phone today
I was really too busy, when you asked me anyway.

No I can’t come to tea, I have a prior date that day
Oh no, it’s an interview, that’s what my boyfriend said to say.

No honestly it isn’t you, the problem is really with me
I think I better go now, before my excuses you start to see.
