“Sorry" Is A Sorry Word
Many a woman or man, have erred,
Thinking “Sorry" is a magic word;
Present an apology, after the fact?
Or think before you speak or act?
It's well and good, to be contrite;
But “Sorry" cannot all wrongs right!

Much truth in these lines - especially nowadays when any act or omission that requires contrition evokes the word - as if it is a
salvation that ensures forgiveness. I remember a line from the Leigh Brackett script for the famous Western film "Rio Bravo" in which
the exasperated John Wayne character says to an erring pal -
"'Sorry' don't get it done!" Politicians should have that on a plaque
in their offices.
