Notes About The Poem
This really happened it was in 1969 I was 19.
Opps I Slipped Up
Back in the day living a riotous life in London
I used to walk along Park Lane almost nightly
I was living in Paddington but went out in Mayfair
Often as I passed the Grosvenor Hotel there was a ball.
One Night appropriately dressed I gate crashed
Very soon I was asked to dance a waltz
and as we dipped and bowed around the floor
I found out that he was a policeman.
Quickly saying ty I moved on to my next partner
Only to discover that yes he too was a policeman
this set a trend I had only gate crashed the police ball
tail tucked between my legs I beat a hasty retreat.
I suppose the lesson I learned was very important
always be honest in all of your dealings.
It had a large impact on my life over the course of time
taught me values that are now second nature.
