Social interactions can be so very hard
By a seemingly simple nuance, a relationship is marred
I understood your words and friendly you seemed
But I missed an important clue and error was deemed
This has now upset you as you think I let you down
And this response saw my brow in a confused frown
You read this frown as anger and your response has meant
That all attempts to communicate are spent
You see I didn’t realise that what you said to me
Was an instruction of what you thought should be
I didn’t see your crown that declared you king of us
And see now that we could have avoided all this fuss
I really am so sorry and I can only lament
I should have responded “I’ll take that as a comment”
