Best Excuse Poems

Mary Ann had a boyfriend that she 
gave affection and great loyalty.
Since the age of sixteen
no one else had she seen
but she wanted more at thirty-three!

Her boyfriend, of course, had it made
since regularly, he would get laid.
So excuses he gave
when Mary Ann would rave
about marriage....

The blood that remembers
That of brother-to-brother or sister-to-sister 
The blood that holds a family together
The blood that brought us here from a far and distant land
The blood we share in toil and strife and in war and death
Who made this blood and why do we...

An Excuse Never Walks Alone

An excuse never walks alone,
Always’ followed by a reason.
An attempt to defend or justify,
Matters not, the time or season!

An excuse never walks alone,
A pregnant pause dwells near.
A quick release of energy,
Fear ringing still in the ears!

An excuse never walks alone,
Aided by...

Excuse me while I Puke
I hear screams of virgins watching 
their innocence being tortured. 
I see flowers hiding in the shadows 
covering their eyes with shame. 
I smell the putrid odors, 
fuming from the stench 
of bush meat eating scavengers.
Forcing intimacy on cherubs and angels....

Whew! Here Goes One,
Parked At My Rectum,
Its Warm, Its Deadly,
I Can Feel My Face Sweat- Silently,
Oh What A Task,
No Excuses, As I Must-
Sensitively Reckoning The Force It Amass 
With This Feeling Of Crystal Glass,
‘Its A Shame
Having No Younger Soul To Blame,
Oh Self Negligence,  
Such...

Sam slept through his alarm once again
So dashed to catch the commuter train
But today he is fine
‘Autumn leaves’ block the line
He’s off the hook … his boss can’t complain!

Can Things ever last,
When they happen so fast.
do these tears and pain ever fade,
Is Drama yet another day,
That I must play to waste the day away, 
and ignore the pain,
 that never seems to fade.
I know that game,
I played it so many times,
Emotionless is what...

V.1: 
I’m sick of hearing your lies – 
I pull away from the abyss
Rejecting departure at the process
Rue bounces out of my eyes – 
Trapped in my emotional mess
Deliver the introverted boy from his cruel solitude and shed him hope in mind
My heart is broken...

Excuse me operator, 

I think I’ve been disconnected,

To a neurotic world that's seemed to lose its senses,

A ceaseless quest of life questions,

Where are all of these transcending fairytales and esoteric answers?

I am feeling like it’s a foreboding leak of subliminal messages,

Declaring all what life isn’t...

There was a fellow named Bruce
Who  always had an excuse
When his wife caught him cheating
She gave him a beating
And threw him out on his caboose

So he went to his mistress
in desperation and distress
But he got under her skin
as his excuses grew thin
So she threw...

Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep at night.
Having dreams of happiness this I will never find. 
Worlds come to life under a blanket of night. 
A tragic reality I will never reach. 
Excuse me while I apologize for living,
Because I don't feel as...

Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Seeking answers – why’d Jimi die?

Perhaps it was the Burning of the Midnight Lamp
Hey Joe!  Don’t know? Revisit his amp

Purple Haze shrouded by mystery
Woodstock legend resounds in history

Vietnam veteran’s soulful, haunting cry
Excuse me while I kiss this guy

Hello Again your in my face
Pardon me
Get out of my face

Excuse me for not caring
In the past I followed my passion
You do not understand

I'm done looking at you
Excuse Me
For letting go

I got tired.

Excuse me please pass the salt

Excuse me please pass the salt,
I am out of luck hit by a lightning bolt,
I am sitting here quiet around this desk,
Thinking about which escape route is best.
It's a blind date set up by others,
Not someone you take home to...
