Haven'T I Done What I Said I Would Do? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can you explain why you have left,
Several people confused...
By your activities?

'Why should they be confused?
Haven't I done...
What I said I would do? '

From my observations,
I would say you have.

'Then...
What is confusing about that?
Were they expecting contradictions? '

Well...
Let me say this,
Most of us are familiar...
With people saying one thing,
Then making excuses to do another.

'Is that the reason why the few you represent,
Are left confused? '

Well, yes.
And that's why they expect from you an apology.

'For doing what I said I would do? '

That.
And also...
For making them upset because they lost a bet.
