Let’s Have a Pity Party

I’ll bring the you should
haves and didn’ts. You bring the
sorry’s and wouldn’ts.  I’ll bring a bottle
of rue. Red for me, white for you. You bring

the plate of anguish,
and we’ll make a sandwich of
too little too late. We’ll drink a toast
to all of those who let us down, with a

chaser of it isn’t fair. Those are swell
with the lemon squares~ We’ll swallow the
bitters in the bottom of our empty
glass. Then we’ll laugh as we eat the hors d’oeuvres
of “we didn’t deserve”
