Crestfallen: Unnecessary Agitation

I made a mistake
That took hours
To correct,
But that wasn’t
The end of it,

For I’d made another major one
Prior to that one
Within the same document,
How annoying!

And it would probably have remained
Uncovered, undiscovered
If I hadn’t corrected
The first one.

Both frustrating,
And stimulating;
I may be up all night
Recovering from this run,

After all that metta too,
To get so excited,
Wisdom bypassed this time
Or so it seems,

Stumbling around,
Falling in and out of trouble,
Bursting the bubble,
Stubbing my toe I hobble,

Rubbing my sore foot
And wiping my brow,
Exasperated and exhausted
All over again,

No use reacting badly
As it’s up and down as usual,
But I did it anyway,
Force of habit I suppose.
