The Apologist



I'm sorry
For making my ex-wife loose
Her false teeth down the toilet
I'm sorry
She had to fish them out herself
Ruining her new dress
I'm sorry
Her mother’s car ran down the hill
I thought I'd put the handbrake on
I'm sorry
It cost so much to repair the damage
To the other cars
I'm sorry
The house burnt down after I left
I never realized the vase acted as a magnifying glass
I'm sorry
Her priceless dresses by Christian D'ior
Went up in smoke
I'm sorry
The burglars broke into the house
And took everything that wasn't burnt
I'm sorry
Her precious cats ran away
Only to be killed by the fire engine
I'm sorry
The tropical fishes boiled
And later were eaten by the rats
I'm sorry
I ever married her
But I glad I divorced her.
