It was an Accident

by Alex Penuelas   Feb 12, 2017


I love how people say,
when they are confronted on their
infidelity,
that it was
"Just a mistake",
or that
"it was an accident".

Like, how does that happen?

How do you "accidentally" cheat on somebody?

Did somebody randomly
throw a hotdog down your hallway
and you pounded it?

Did you "accidentally" get your key
stuck in your friend's lock,
and you couldn't get it out so you had to
jiggle it back and forth
until it came off?

Did you forget to have money
for the milk,
so you "mistakenly"
let the milkman milk
all over your face?

Was it a "mistake" for you
to let the pizza man give you more
than extra parmesan cheese
and a tip?

Cuz honey,
he SURE gave you more than
just a tip!

    Was this a double post? If so it is probably best to delete one copy and keep the other.

    I don't know why but this made me laugh a little, maybe it was meant to I'm not sure (as I can't see the category it's meant to be in) but I know exactly how it feels or the "it's not you, It's me" line lol. You writing is quite refreshing.

      Oh, I had to dilute the nasty things I was gonna say, since I am waiting to be able to change my age on this website.
      But yay! I'm glad you liked it :)
