What Lovely – The Sixth Lovely Thing [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Lovely Things [REVISION]

My judgement was premature –
I comprehend when you apologise
explaining you were looking forward
to a great weekend – my seeming like
death spoiled your expectations

We made a truce, takeaway food, a
doting search,1st lovely thing, viewed
a glamorous dance program,2nd lovely
thing, then two new episodes of the
Nodame Cantabile series,3rd lovely

thing; today I found some episodes of
Dragon’s Den on BBC,4th lovely thing –
the only dread is to confess I spent all
my pocket money, what with visiting
my sister as well as Tiaan’s birthday –

To beg your forgiveness for ignoring the
budget – a clean conscience would be
the 5th and best lovely thing!
