There are some people who are very resourceful
At being remorseful
And who apparently feel that the best way to make friends
Is to do something terrible and then make amends.
And they are always sure that today you don't mind their
inflicting on you any sorrow,
Because they'll give you so much pleasure when they
smilingly apologize tomorrow.
But I myself would rather have a rude word from
someone who has done me no harm
Than a graceful letter from the King of England
saying he's sorry he broke my arm.
