Thanks for the invitation.
It’s really very kind.
But there’s this thing I have to do
I hope that you don’t mind.
Of course, I’d love to do the thing,
That’s where I’d want to be.
It’s really so unfortunate
That I just can’t be free.
Thanks for the invitation.
I wish that I could go.
It’s just that I’ll be busy
So, it’s a solid “no”.
I’ve got to hem my curtains.
I have to wash my dog.
I’m pretty sure that that’s when I’m
Upholstering a log.
Thanks for the invitation.
I’ll see what I can do.
I absolutely really want
To spend some time with you.
I’ll definitely be there
If I can find my shoes
And if there’s nothing vital
That’s breaking on the news.
Thanks for the invitation.
I wish I had the time.
The second week in August
Is when I take up mime.
But please feel free to visit,
Just text me on the day.
In case by some coincidence.
I’ve had to go away.
Ha. Love this one.. and know the feeling.
Thanks. When I saw that there had been a comment, I was terrified that this had been seen by anyone who’s ever invited me to anything. I’m horribly antisocial.
hahaha I LOOOOOVE this poem. Wish I could print it out and give it to someone *coughs* special 😉
Thank you. I suspect many people would recognise themselves in this. 🙂
I’d make it into a hallmark card if it were possible 😉 #cruelAlert
