My Mistake

I never make mistakes,

I'm quite meticulous.

I pride myself on veracity

and never make a fuss.

Of course I might make a gaffe,

a misstep I might take,

or even an inaccuracy,

but never a mistake.

I've been known to make an error,

or a false move I could fake,

or possibly a blunder,

but never a mistake.

I once did miss a misprint,

and a blooper for goodness sake.

And my tongue's been known to slip a bit,

but never a mistake.

No, I never make mistakes,

for granted that is taken.

I actually thought I'd made one once,

but I was mistaken.
