Oh Well , it Was Worth a Try

I’m no good with creative compliments, (10)

I’m sorry to say they’re not my forte (10)

These kind words and little presents (8)

But I hope you accept them anyway (10)

I know you’ve heard them all before (8)

From others that might have more sway (8)

But please leave me an open door (8)

And not be so quick to send me on my way (11)
