Jim, your experience would make a good poem in the tradition of WC Williams, apologizing for doing something you are not really sorry for doing.—Diann McCabe
The other night, we were watching television after supper, and I thought about the ice cream in the freezer and got up to get a bowl. I asked my wife if she wanted some, and she said "Yes, but don't forget the chocolate sauce. You know I like chocolate
sauce on ice cream, and you always forget it."
As I walked into the kitchen the phone rang, so I answered it -- one of those phone solicitations. When I hung up, I couldn't remember why I went to the kitchen, so I looked around and saw the pot of leftover soup on the stove
that we had for supper. I made a bowl for me and one for my wife. I walked into the living room and handed my wife the soup. She looked and said, "See! You forgot the crackers! You know I like crackers with my soup and you always forget them!"

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
