Insincere Apologies

I apologize profusely that you broke my heart

And I apologize profusely, you decided we should part.

You refused to take the blame

For playing the adultery game

So it must have been my fault that you took up with that tart.




for the humorous side of Barbara Gorelick's "Apology Accepted" contest

Nice ending here, Francine, nice rhyme. It has sting and it has sardonic humor, too. Cool off, my dear, you'll be fine and you are. Happy New Year from Gerard.

A decent example of a Limerick poem. Good luck to you in Barbara's contest.
