Title: I Left My Poem At Home
I left my poem at home
So please except these words instead
Erm, I'd give you a drawing I did of you
But the dog ate it and retired to his bed
I left my poem at home
Was the deadline really today?
I wanted to tell you how I felt about you!
Now I won't be able to, no way!
I left my poem at home
My computer crashed and I couldn't print it out!
Please don't call me a liar
There is no need to scream and shout!
I left my poem at home
I've been consumed by repainting the church
It's all that extra-curricular volunteer work I do
Sorry to leave you in the lurch!
I left my poem at home
I've been so ill I thought I was going to die
You know how reliable I am usually
I'm not the kind of person to lie
I left my poem at home
Okay, so I didn't get around to writing it
But when I sat down to describe the wonder of you
I couldn't find words beautiful enough that would fit
I left my poem at home
So please except these words instead
It just wasn't up to scratch to convey to you
The thoughts and feelings in my head
