Setting the Matter Straight

There are times when you’re distracted
And you even can forget
To take care of business; maybe
It’s not happened to you yet.

But in time, it’s bound to happen
And perhaps you’ll be dismayed
For you’ll realize that a slip-up
Is the price that you have paid.

Some distractions may cause damage;
Others only aggravate.
If you’re lucky, you’ll recover
And can set the matter straight.


*I rarely miss a day of posting a poem. 
I did yesterday...

All of us have experienced this, Ilene, and most of us recover without undue effects; however, if it has to do with paying a bill, we can count on a late charge and a bump in the interest due! Good writing, friend. I look forward to your daily poem.
