Poem

Promises, Promises...boldy broken
I spite these words when hastily spoken
The act pledged is almost never the issue
  it's the scanning of priorties...somehow they missed you!!
You would never have held breath and waited
  But the promiser spoke, declaritively stated...
"I will..."  "We'll Go...." "Real soon..."  "I promise..."
  You'd have no reason not to take them at honest...

From as far back as I can remember
every promise I heard was "return to sender"
The phone would ring, my heart would sing
  voice on the other end says...."forget the whole thing"
No fishing trips, campouts, or cookouts...look out!
  Every time my hopes were up, then hooked out...
I died each time they let me down
  when they picked me up, then set me down
    when I had to kick start the merry-go-round
      sat in an unpushed swing at the play ground...

So thinking back, I know it's why
I see a broken promise like a boldface lie
I hate nothing more than when words are hollow
  when an oral oath lacks the action to follow
        Trust breaks down when mouths, they run
         Hold your tongue then no harm is done!!
            



Inspired by Michael's "What gets your Goat" contest!!
