An Everyday Mantra for Head Cases Like Me

 

That thing I did earlier?

I don't know where that came from.

I didn't mean to do it.

I didn't plan to do it.

I surely didn't intend for you to see it.

Oh, I could tell you what was going through my head when I did it.

From where I'm sitting it made perfect sense.

But from out there where you are...probably not.

And you can't come in here to see.

No, that wouldn't be a good idea.

So you're left with not knowing.

And I'm left with knowing too well.

I'm not apologizing for that thing I did.

But I'm sorry you got hit in the face with it.

Bad thing, bad.

I should come with a warning sign.

But you already know all my warning signs.

Fat lot of good they've done you.

So, that thing I did?

Yeah.


Repeat whenever I do something inexplicably boneheaded. Which could be daily or even hourly.
