A Fool’s Errand

In love's unabridged
There are certain words to master
Using a sentence defined
What's a synonym for "mistake"?
How 'bout "disaster"?
Which, in this case, was all mine

Because you took me for a ride
What's worse than that is that you
Had the nerve to make me drive there

You sent me on a fool's errand
Angelically deceitful, you
My quest, at best, a fool's errand
And, all agree, how brilliantly I played the fool

If they gave awards for white lies
You know you'd win one
Actually yours are off-white
Mere arithmetic fails you
When you're living in one
Like how many wrongs make a right

The way you took me for a ride
What's worse than that is that you
Had the nerve to make me drive there

You sent me on a fool's errand
Angelically deceitful, you
My quest, at best, a fool's errand
And, all agree, how brilliantly I played the fool

How brilliantly I played the fool
You sent me on a fool's errand
