Me Again!!!

Cheeky Missy

It's me again---surprise, surprise! 

Is't recognition in your eyes? 

You thought you lost me?---gone for good? 

But I've showed up---you knew I would.


You wrote and wrote, but no replies...

'Twas just too rude, I realize; 

So you gave up?  I hope's not true!?

 Without your lines what will I do?? 


A month its been since you said "Hi"; 

I miss your poems---your friendly lines.

It's all my fault, I know, I know; 

I should've written long ago.


But wait----but wait!---a compromise?

 For here I am with my own lines.

You will write back; I know 'tis so---

Or have I fallen far too low? 


I did not write---I'll tell you why:

 Although I tried, I could not rhyme; 

So I was silent, indisposed...

You waited long-----that's how it goes.


That's how our friendship's been designed----

You'll often write with fewer lines, 

And later I'll reply with more, 

So amply making up with yours.


And I admit I asked for rhymes, 

Which you have giv'n 'most all th'times;

In this my downfall's been secured----

For lack of this I've sent no word.


Yet pray, my friend, all rhymes aside,

 Will you forgive me one more time? 

Here write I now and say, "Hello"

And, "Are you fine? How does all go?"


You ne'er believed I'd never write, 

And six months late t'ain't much surprise;

So off again with paper in tow, 

We'll rhyme'N'write, that's how we go.


Surprise, surprise!  Late come my "Hi's", 

There's recognition in your eyes---

I'm back again with paper 'N'pen, 

To write and rhyme with you again!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Some years back I had a penpal that would exchange poetry w/me, in addition to our letters, and as I am always a tardy one to answer, I ended up writing this.... It is the first in a series of poems on penpaling by the notorious Mistress of Tardiness herself!
