You Creative Types Are So Tempermental

You want me to apologize?
OKAY...
I apologize.

'What level of sincerity,
Was that apology? '

I would say...
Right between where I would put my foot.
And the words your ears would hear,
As they rolled off my tongue.

'I accept your apology.'

I am glad of that!
Because you would find my foot painful.
And those words rolling off my tongue...
Would be created just for you.

'But then again...
That doesn't sound too bad of an offer.
Do you mind if I returned your apology?

What did I say now?
Who cares!
Walk away.
You creative types are so tempermental.'
