Apologies
Heard in so many situations,
when other words would suffice
(e.g., excuse me please)
tho' it's not a nice word
they're only trying to be nice
covering a multitude of sins
and every eventuality
accomplishing nothing nobody wins
without it and the obligatory
British cure-all cup of tea
as found in the board game
by Elizabeth J. Magie (1866 – 1948) Monopoly
somewhat similar to 'Hail Mary'
'Sorry!' seems to be
the perennial English card
to 'get out of jail free'
and if from the English language
the word from removal were to succumb
much if not most of the United Kingdom
would sadly be struck dumb
