I Am Saving My Credibility

I didn't mean to say,
What I said previously.
I meant to say something,
Entirely different.

'But...
Isn't that a contradiction? '

Not necessarily.
Not at all.
You see...
I am 'still' running as a candidate,
For public office.
I have yet to be elected.
And until that happens,
I am saving my credibility.
