This week's This American Life features the poem This is Just to Say by William Carlos Williams.

This is just to say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

William Carlos Williams

This American Life goes on to explore the spoofs and riffs on this  somewhat annoying non-apology poem, like those you can find here.

And then had regular contributers write their own spoofs. I invite you to write one and put it in my comments, or make your own post

This is just to say

I slept with you
again
last night

this probably adds
to your
confusion

Forgive me
I am weak
and indulge my whims
too much.
