Haiku Friday: Things you wish you hadn't said
Today, let's haiku about things we shouldn't have said, or perhaps things that other people (politicians, parents, Mr. Rogers) shouldn't have said.
Here is mine:
I should have known that
The wrong person would hear me;
Meant that for Gordon.
Now it is your turn! The winner gets their bio here on Monday.

"How bad can it be
Running the whole department?"
Many sleepless nights
To Anon 1108 - that's a great haiku.

Week before wedding --
Husband-to-be in Vegas
Me, asleep at home.

"Yogi, g@d damit"
As he bounded through the woods
Chasing after deer
"Bad dog, bad, bad dog"
He slinks back into the house
Big slobbery kiss

"You were enraged by
That." Thirty-five years of friend
Took umbrage.Vanished.
In Seventy-three
Alone I came...Cold City--
Found family in hers.
She laughed at my jokes
Summer came to veranda
Hitchcock films...cocktails.
Lived through three divorces
Two hers,one mine. Two babies.
One for each. Godmothers.
Now we don't speak,and
The silence cuts bone,abrades
Soul.Apologies wilt.
It's a new year now.
Maybe I should,perhaps try
Again to mend tear.

"Oh Yeah?" "Yeah?" "Yeah!"

Here is one p.a. that I believe a certain flight attendant (not me) regretted:
"Ladies,Gentlemen--
Welcome to the Twin Titties
Mpls. and St.Paul."
And I actually did say this over the p.a. :
"Ladies,Gentlemen:
Welcome to Detroit's Metro-
Politan Op'ra!"
(which received a few "Bravas!"
Just for fun,Professor!
