X a sad and sorry thing

I'd rather post another's writings here,
That would say better what I want to say.
Which even to myself is not too clear,
I'm running late, it holds me in delay.
I don't have time to ponder for an hour,
The feelings of my heart and what they mean,
I need a rhyming  word, so I'll say "shower",
And something more, so I'll say "in-between".
I'll snicker since that all sounds sort of dirty,
And sigh because that's nowhere near the truth,
I'll drink the beer that makes me think I'm flirty,
I'll think a lot of things that are uncouth.
      I won't re-read this poem or reflect on't,
      A sad and sorry thing is this tenth son't.
