I’m Really Sorry But …

\nI would have come to work today but homework ate my dog,
\nA lorry ran me over as I took my morning jog,
\nMy mother needed saving and I’ve mastered CPR
\nI left the house but found my keys were locked inside the car.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t catch the train instead we’ve had a dreadful flood,
\nDisaster’s hit the neighbourhood, so I’m off giving blood,
\nThe doctor says I cannot go, I have bubonic plague,
\nHe’s told me of a treatment but the outlook’s looking vague.<\/p>\n
You think that if there is no train I could have tried the bus?
\nI went to try to catch it but encountered quite a fuss
\nThree dozen fighting grannies laid a siege I couldn’t breach
\nI tried so hard, I REALLY tried, but work is not in reach.<\/p>\n
I cannot walk or bicycle, I’m feeling rather ill,
\nFar worse than that my home is at the bottom of a hill.
\nIt’s higher than a mountain, twice as steep as any stairs,
\nAnd anyway the surface has been dug up for repairs.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow will be better if it’s just the same to you,
\nI know that I’ll be keen to work with time off to renew,
\nSo please don’t think I’m slacking, in my heart I’m working hard
\nBut actually being there’s a thought I’ll disregard!<\/p>\n

\nAnd it’s all true!!!<\/p>\n
