This week let’s write an excuse poem. Whether justifying your own poor choices or attempting to explain the actions of another, describe the extenuating circumstances and mitigating evidence, real or hypothesized, anything to shift the blame. You have no excuse for not posting a poem in the comments below.
comedian in 70’s not meant as a pardon
rude standing there with a balloon on his head
but apolitical, he wouldn’t tread
on famous people like George Carlin
if speaking today he would be hauled in
of course the vigilantes have no excuse
it’s not lawful, their abuses
this word has many uses
though it seems no-one tries to make excuses.

Monday Poetry Prompt: Excuse
The Bag Lady 
Ironic, isn’t it, that the bad guys used to at least try to come up with an excuse for their bad behaviour. Thoughtful poem. Thanks for writing to my little prompt.
