the Chase

In a fever, I threatened to
    chase you with Epithets.
But in your own, you heard me say
    I’m hurling Epitaphs.
              So wrong!
         But still, I’ll play along.
              Today,
         I throw All This For Naught.
You lob Your Chase Was Overdue--
I wanted to be Caught.

Kerry's weekend challenge to the Real Toads is to try common measure in the style of poet Robert Herrick.
