Happy Birthday, PrinceMyshkin!
Happy Birthday, PrinceMyshkin! A very special birthday wish for the poet laureate of Lit-Net, here's a poem for you from one of my favorite poets.
Mustn’t we have a one in whom to confide
that we overpaid for the pears
that we brought home
and so our heart is sore?
It isn’t much of a confession, is it, but it
is everything. “Those pears,
oh, those pears, darling,
how can I have been such a fool?”
And it isn’t, you know
(and I know you know
and it comforts me more than I can tell you
to know that) - but as I was saying,
it isn’t just those pears
but that this isn’t the first time I’ve been careless
or absent-minded or neglectful.
And I’m sorry, love.
I hope you know
how sorry I really am...
