by John Berryman
 His malice was a pimple down his good
big face, with its sly eyes. I must be sorry
Mr Frost has left:

Manuelzinho

by Elizabeth Bishop

a sort of inheritance; white,
in your thirties now, and supposed
to supply me with vegetables,

More respectful -- "We are Dust" --
We apologize to thee
For thine own Duplicity --...Read more of this...

Just Keep Quiet and Nobody Will Notice

by Ogden Nash
 There is one thing that ought to be taught in all the colleges,
Which is that people ought to be taught not to go around always making apologies.
I don't mean the kind of apologies people make when they run over you or borrow five dollars or step on your feet,
Because I think that is sort of sweet;
