The Revisionist’s Guide to Regret

It’s probably best
When reflecting on the past
Not to focus too much
On what actually happened
When a bit of embellishment
And some outright lies
Can ameliorate the narrative
And render regret redundant

    Thanks – I do enjoy the English language, it must have more synonyms than any other…

    Ah, it’s great when thoughtful and smile-inducing poetry teaches you vocabulary as well — purely be context. Very nicely done!
