You were teary when you recited
That it's hard for you to admit mistake
That admittedly your pride is sky high
That you'd rather implicitly appease
Then I thought, it was your pride
That maybe your meter is not full
That my attempts contribute miniscule
I was delighted, however
You were teary when you recited
I bet it took you courage to speak
An event you must have reminisced
Then I remember your 'almost guy'
Are you regretting you didn't bow?
Hopeful it turned out the other way?
Answer to these I doubt you'll say
As maybe asking is beyond my curb
