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.
