This Plum Joke is Pitiful

I believe the plum could be a metaphor for something in the character's lives. Could be that the person who "ate the plums" cheated in marriage and attempts to justify or rationalize their decision by explaining how "delicious", "sweet" and "cold" the "plums" were. Or perhaps, and this might be groundbreaking, the plums actually refer to plums. I know, pretty drastic claim but bear with me. The author mentions the fruit in the first line, and throughout the poem the author uses food like references to them. Perhaps it is meant to be taken entirely literally. To me the character who ate the plums knew they would get away with it. They knew the plums were being saved yet ate them anyway. Especially with the one line apology, seems to me they knew they would be forgiven and all would be well. Almost like a child...speaking to a parent.

My turn:

I'm sorry

I am sorry
That I am right
And you are wrong

I am more
Educated on this such matter

You opinion is invalid
I am sorry
