Reasons

There are reasons things don’t get done when expected. For example, when actively posting to a blog, now and again, I’d be late or maybe even miss a day. On one particular day, I offered a whimsical excuse…

Late post today

I’ll use a moment if I may,
To explain this post’s delay.
No, I was not off at play,
Or working so my bills to pay.
Was no excess of Cabernet,
Nor idly fishing off the quay.

What was it then, I hear you say,
Asking I dismiss dismay.
Oh, alright, a minute stay –
I’ll take a second to allay,
And put concerned thoughts astray,
With my terse reply, okay?

I was surly, but that’s cliche,
Sent early meds upon a tray,
Twice daily is the normal way.
Borne by the burly lad in gray,
I dined upon that slim buffet,
Then slept the whole damned day away.
