Sorry

Sorry ’bout the homework.

Sorry ’bout the room.

Sorry ’bout the mix up

With the chimney and the broom.

Sorry ’bout the hamster.

Sorry ’bout the bug.

Sorry ’bout the purple stain

In the middle of the rug.

Sorry ’bout the superglue.

Sorry ’bout the report card.

Sorry ’bout the neighbor’s cat

I buried in the yard.

Mom, I really am so sorry

For not behavin’ like I should.

And if you please just give me one more chance

I promise I’ll be good.

Oh yeah…sorry ’bout the china.
