Excuses, Excuses
Wonderful to see you
Wish I had more time
But I’ve been called upon to solve
Some uncommitted crime
Yesterday my fish died
Hope you understand
The funeral arrangements
Turned out to be quite grand
Sensible precautions
Clearly do dictate
It’s time to walk my hamster
The hour is getting late
Sadly, duty beckons
It’s my privilege to attend
A gathering to honor
An unnamed future friend
Saturday my car broke
When I drove across the street
And I could walk to greet you
If I didn’t have two sore feet
Happily, I promise
(Assuming I’m around)
To make time to see you
The next time you’re in town
