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
