That's Not What I Meant

That’s not what I meant I swear this to be true You misunderstood What I was telling you I meant it nothing like that That’s hilarious to hear What a crazy interpretation You've made here May I repeat what I said? Perhaps in a different way Hopefully you understand Or may I pay You took it all wrong Now you must vent Oh, God help me That’s not what I meant

You show a very good grasp of rhyme and rhythm in this write Matthew. I also like the short 4 verse form that you use. It's what I use in my writing very often. Again, good job, thanks for posting

Isn't it weird how you can say one thing and someone else misinterprets it? I know what you mean, Matthew...Well said! Always, Annalise

Nah, that's what you meant. Haha, just kidding, Matthew. Is it that bad? Just make up :).
