Blame it on! (Katie asked me to post this)

Aesop101

Blame It On!

Blame it on my own ex-wife
Blame it on the mirror lies
Blame it on the moon and tides

Fail!
Fail!
Fail!

Curse these shrinkin’ jeans
Curse the lack of means
Curse the big boned me

Fail!
Fail!
Fail!

Shame, the wrong cut dress
Blame the work and stress
Blame it on my life’s a mess

Fail!
Fail!
Fail!

Blame it on Mom and apple pie
Blame it on the mirror lies
Blame it on my own two eyes

Fail!
Fail!



Please note there are only 2 fails after the last stanza symbolizing that the last sentence recognizes personal responsibility.

I love this... did you write it?

Yes I did. Can't believe it either.

He messaged me the link to it and I read it and instantly loved it.

I'm not a poem person, but this was deeply dark (to me), which that is me.

Thanks so much for sharing it with the group. :flowerforyou:

Wow....I like that last blame....blaming it on your own eyes. Everything else used to blame was outside your own power, except the power to see yourself properly.

Excellent!

Thanks folks! I was inspired. Started to write it but then thought how dumb. However I couldn't just let it go and I'm glad I didn't. It almost wrote itself to be honest.
