I answered the phone
She said "Let's forget the past."
I said, "Wrong number."

A wrong number is one way to deflect the callers request, but the past is just that!

Good idea. What went wrong in the past will usually go wrong in "the second chance" future.

You got that right Ida, once a bridge has been crossed it is almost impossible to repair the damage, it always shows up, it is never forgotten. It can be forgiven, but never forgotten and therein lies the trouble. Few, very few ever make good of a "second chance."

It takes talent to write a good senryu and your talent shines in this one Jerry. And I like the concept.
