Excuses

I didn’t mean to do it, it wasn’t me that did I wasn’t even here that day; I think I was in Madrid. When the power went out, it wasn’t me I know If you make toast in the bath, that makes the power blow. I know it can’t be me, cos I wasn’t even there So I mean it was some one else, if you really care. I remember it was cold that night, I didn’t have a coat I couldn’t have done it you know, I told you in that note. I left it there so that you would know, that I had not been near I mean that it was after; I thought I had been seen near here. I was going to call you, but I lost my phone today I was really too busy, when you asked me anyway. No I can’t come to tea, I have a prior date that day Oh no, it’s an interview, that’s what my boyfriend said to say. No honestly it isn’t you, the problem is really with me I think I better go now, before my excuses you start to see. © 3/01/2013 Contest Entry
