Scared Off Poem by Grace Hays

i hope that i haven't scared you off
especially with my language
i don't mean to cuss
but today's just been a day from hell
there is no way
that anybody could possibly
cut 75 pounds of fruit into little pieces
within two hours
yet i was told to get it done within that amount of time
didn't make it at all
in fact i was late getting home to call my little girl
she is off on a trip you see
and she usually comforts me
so i am missing her tremendously
and hope that you will forgive me
for i truly didn't mean to
scare you off from reading my poems
just a bad day and nite
so please don't pass on by
for i really don't want you to be
scared off
