Poetry: Mistakes

I hope you will excuse me.
I truly beg your pardon.
I accidentally bumped your table
And toppled your open milk carton.

And by the way . . . did I mention?
It spilled into your purse.
When you see your soggy iPod,
I'm sure my name you will curse.

Oh, and FYI
You probably didn't see,
But my doggy Mr. Biggles
Lifted his leg and took a pee.

It's been divine to see you,
But I've really got to run.
Once you realize what else I did,
You may go grab your gun.

    But why do the errs
    always have to be mine?

    It's hard to be perfect
    right all the time
    and

    Just a mistake waiting to happen,
    I was conceived in the heat of passion.
    I don't know why I came to this earth,
    Or why I was

    Love contains none of its mistakes as fakes,
    to be left still all undone in you.
    A mistake is only an illusion of fear still
