Oops My Mistake Again !!!!

O h how many, many times

O ften I’ve been caught,

P erplexed by all the fuss

S eeing people so distraught.

M y only crime was speaking,

Y et little did I think

M y words would cause an uproar,

I n truth, I want to shrink

S o small no-one could see the

T urmoil I have caused,

A gain I’d make a wish

K eep quite, if I had paused

E ven for a second

A nd thought of what to say,

G ive mouth and mind the chance

A s one, and not betray

I nner feeling kept well hidden,

N ever to see the light of day.

Wonderful piece of writing
Great acrostic this one. Very very good indeed. The rhyme in this is really good. Wonderful beat to the piece as well. Very very cleverly-written. I loved it. Well done, Sue. A really good piece of writing.
