Embarrassed
Have you ever embarrassed yourself in such a way?
That you wanted to crawl under a big rock and stay?
When the humiliation is more than you can take,
But then you realize: it was just a mistake,
I can’t believe I’m even documenting this story,
I am recording my blunder, in all its glory!
I parked my car in the parking lot,
In the middle of August, while it was blazing hot,
I browsed a few stores, and then went back to the first,
To make a purchase, and the check-out line was the worst!
Suffice it to say, considerable time had passed,
Since I had seen my parked-car last,
As I approached my car, the fob was apparently dead,
The door would not unlock, no matter what I did,
I sat in the shade, in the grass, by my car,
But my daughter-in-law was at Target, which wasn’t far,
She bought new batteries for me, to solve the issue,
But before she arrived, a lady had interesting news,
“That’s my car you are sitting next to”, she said,
My hot face turned a deeper shade of red,
“YOUR car?”, I said, in a state of confusion,
Well, that led me to a quick conclusion,
This was not even my car I was trying to take,
Oh boy! What a big, blundering mistake!
I said, “I’m sorry, I thought it was mine”,
“It looks just like it; we have the same kind!”
She didn’t seem amused at all,
In fact, she was a bit appalled,
I guess she thought I was a lunatic,
I politely got out of her way, really quick!
MY car was parked one aisle away,
Go ahead and laugh is all I can say!
