Something Came Up

My writers' group is meeting tonight
Do you want a lift?
If one's on offer.

Something came up.

I'm meeting my friends in the pub
I'll make tea before you go
I'm off now.
I'm sorry, I forgot to make tea
Something came up

I'm going back on Tuesday
I'll take you down
Ready to go?
Sorry, something's come up

As always.
Workaholics are unreliable.
At least you didn't promise.
Can't break it if you don't make it.
If you did,
I'd send you to where you belong;
Westminster.
