It’s best to own up to the simplest mistake
because not to, would only be folly.
If sorry doesn’t work, then plead insanity
It’s OK to be quite off your trolley
It’s best to recover from any such mistake,
as fast as you possibly can.
Get it right off your chest then lay it to rest,
and move on to your very next plan.
As we all grow, we must make that mistake,
from which we always step back and retreat.
How many times must we wobble and fall,
before finally finding our feet?
How dull life would be without a single mistake,
to refer to at some later stage.
And how sad not to have in our memory bank,
a mistake that was worth a week’s wage!
