That's Not What I Meant

That’s not what I meant
I swear this to be true
You misunderstood
What I was telling you

I meant it nothing like that
That’s hilarious to hear
What a crazy interpretation
You've made here

May I repeat what I said?
Perhaps in a different way
Hopefully you understand
Or may I pay

You took it all wrong
Now you must vent
Oh, God help me
That’s not what I meant

You show a very good grasp of rhyme and rhythm in this write Matthew. I also like the short 4 verse form that you use. It's what I use in my writing very often. Again, good job, thanks for posting

Isn't it weird how you can say one thing and someone else misinterprets it? I know what you mean, Matthew...Well said! Always, Annalise
