Interpretation

I said something the other day 
In quite an innocent way
A throw away comment
Said in the moment

I knew by their face
It had gone to a different place 
Their expression had changed 
From serious to delirious

How it got there 
Is anyones guess

Laughing and smiling
Giggling and grinning
Oh my goodness
This was only the beginning

Lets not details discuss
It would create too much fuss 

Try as I might 
To put it right 
The damage was done 
Their thoughts were on the run

Misinterpretation
