NaPoWriMo Day 14: Excuses

Excuses?

I’m full of ‘em.

Good ones, too –

I’ll bet

I have better excuses

Than you.

My dog was sick,

My cat got lost,

My car ran out of gas.

My stove caught fire,

My printer broke,

I lost my transit pass.

I tripped and fell,

I skinned my knee,

I got a speeding ticket.

I got caught

In a mob of folks

Downtown starting to picket.

I missed my bus,

My bike tire’s flat,

My cell phone failed to ring.

My iPad didn’t

Charge last night

So I can’t do a thing.

I lost my flash drive,

Searched the house –

I’ve got no backups handy.

I stubbed my toe,

I bit my lip,

No, all’s NOT fine and dandy.

Excuses?

I’m full of ‘em.

What else is new?

Now it’s past

My bedtime,

So good night, adieu.
