I Humbly Beg

I had a thought...
From whence it came
'Tis all but mystery.
But I nurtured it
As best I could
To practicality.

I humbly beg
Forgiveness and I
Mean no disrespect.
But your objection
Seems misguided as
You haven't heard it yet.

Delay your anger and
Protestations before I'm
Sentenced to the flame
And trust the world
Will keep spinning and
The Sun will rise again.

Should my words cause
Some discomfort and leave
You mentally askew.
Remember... just because a
Thought was had does not
Always make it true.

So forgive this brief
Intrusion but I'll say
This before I go.
It's just a thought that
Peaked my interest and I
Wanted you to know.

        The End

Witty and hilariously funny! Only a beast could turn a deaf ear to a humble apology such as this. :D

Ha, ha. Such a study in humble hesitation poised between the lion's jaws. Great write, David. :) gw
