Blame Games

If you slosh wet shoes in the house
you blame it on the rain of course

If you forget to put the garbage out
you blame it on their morning route

If you arrive at work too late
you blame it on the traffic rate

If you should forget to shut the door
you blame it on your thumb that's sore

If you forget to bring your umbrella
you call the weatherman a stupid fella

If you forget to fill your tank
you blame it on the bloody bank

but if you forget your wife's birthday again
please don't blame it on the rain



          For the Contest- Blame it on the Rain
                                 Of -  Black Eyed Susan

It's so true that we tend to want to blame something or someone for things that go wrong. Nice write, Joseph. Love, Kim
