Excuses for Particular Uses

     Pardon me, is that your toe 
        I just had nowhere else to go

     Excuse me, ma’am, I lost my footing
        That’s why your dress is full of pudding

     Oh, so sorry, you must be furious
         I only touched you ‘cos I’m curious

     Sir, I really forgot how tomatoes squirt
         ‘Til I saw the mess on your shirt 

      And please forgive me 1,000 times over
         I thought you’d love my pit bull, Rover

OH, sorry, I thought this was a group of teleprompter notes for the debate...
