The Road Back Home

The road back home
         seems so easy
       He's been away
         so long...

       Will he tiptoe in
         and say 'Sorry'
       Before his chance
         is gone

Nope; come back roaring with laughter, beating on a hand-held snare drum: that's what I would do. Then say sorry.

I guess it depends on how valid his excuse is! Did I sense the tone on this one? Cheerio G.W...ab

Just 'random,' I guess. We'll call him 'Any man.' Thanks, Deb. :)

A touching poem, Gershon. It causes me to feel empathy and hope that he does tiptoe in. Best of wishes.

Yeah, he really should tiptoe in and make sure that 'Sorry' is the first word out of his mouth! ~ Gershon
