I failed to remember, my dear friend, <br />that I'd prepared 'two' servings <br />of creamed pork tongue <br />in the frying pan this morning- <br />so when I attempted <br />to pour the entire load onto your plate <br />it caused a runoff, upsetting you terribly. <br /> <br />Also, I lied when I told you I prepare <br />that very same breakfast weekly <br />for a woman of questionable breeding <br />who resides with me in a parallel universe. <br /> <br />Realizing I'd deceived you, <br />I went into my room, <br />and while pretending <br />to make my bed, fainted. <br />When I resumed consciousness <br />I started crying and wet my pants.<br /><br />francis reilly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-caused-a-runoff/
