Dear Editor, I’m writing in the hope that you haven’t started printing up my book.
There’s been an accident. I’m such a dope, and worrywart. Please search the poems and look
for a scribbled note within the stack, for my handyman and gardener, Jose.
It wasn’t on my desk when I got back from mailing you the manuscript that day.
It regards a broken wheelbarrow I had, a note to urge Jose to fix the thing.
Imagine my embarrassment, egad, if published, all the ridicule it’d bring!
You likely saw the problem that I mention. My worry probably seems a little silly
But thanks for your indulgence and attention!
With warm regards,
yours truly,
Billy Billy

P.S. I'm in the habit of leaving notes around the house,
and I fear one more may be in the pile, this one to my spouse,
regarding some plums that she was saving for a brunch,
which I thoughtlessly wolfed down when we were out of Cap'n Crunch.
Not that you'd ever take it for a poem, LOL!
But if it should get by you, we'd be mortified as hell.
So this is just a heads up. I know the whole thing's silly.
Best regards, your absent-minded poet, Billy Billy.
