I Apologize

I apologize but for what I do not know And my standing with some 'twould seem at a low 'Twould seem I hurt their feelings with my pen But in the game of life one has to lose to win. I apologize but to me it doesn't make sense To think some of the harmless verses I write cause offence I've lost some friends and such is life they say Though they were never my friends anyway. I apologize to every Tom, Joe, Jill and Dave Lets hope they don't take their grudges with them to the grave And though they do not accept my apology Of any guilt I've felt I now feel free. I apologize for what it now is worth If with my verses feelings I have hurt But I've known insult had no sympathy If you give you take that's how it ought to be.
