It was not my fault

rhyming quatrains

It was not my fault.

 

I do not think fate deserves blame

For choices which we freely made.

There are no fixed rules in life’s game

We have to learn from each mistake.

 

Sometimes we win sometimes we lose.

The choice we make may prove correct

The course of action which we choose.

May bring success.  though I suspect

 

That when we lose we choose to blame

A cruel fate because we fail.

But we take credit just the same

when we succeed.We do not wail.

 

Instead we boast of our prowess.

We do not credit kindly fate.

With guiding us towards success.

Though it might be appropriate.

 

Instead we are very quick to blame

Fate for the times we don’t succeed

She does not treat us all the same.

At least on that we are agreed.

The poem's great (as usual) But Tate's review is hilarious.
