Notes About The Poem

Only that is not where the stain was located..The stain came out but the embarrassing feelings remain..

 

My Most Embarrassing Moment

A trip to a very large
and far away hospital. 
I was visiting a sick member
from church, there belittled

For a wet place I felt on my pants
I sat on a drenched seat
You bet I wasn't very composed
With coffee stains to greet

My husband had sat a cuppa
down recklessly on the seat.
It had spilled~ soaked fabric cushion
Also brown chicken white meat

My face was red walking the halls.
I wasn't a debutante
Embarrassed totally
But wouldn't let it me daunt

David, thanks for the visit to my page..I appreciate you stopping by reading and taking time to comment..It was an embarrassing moment but hey life happens..If my husband had told me he spilled the coffee, I could have put several towels or something over it so that I would not get in on my clothes but life happens..Sara
