It's more of a broadway tune, but hey...

carp/croak/confess
my darling I suggest :
your error reporting? encumbered at best!
poetic ideas may be your bent
but it's hard for this simple gent
to understand why
we croak instead of die
and my dear, I'll be darned
if I know why I'm carping
when I thought that you'd be warned

oh, carp/ croak/ confess
I can't say which is best
when I need to relay
a message most urgent
they all seem divergent
Despite your advice I'd rather die than confess
any error that I encounter
yet in this quandry I founder
trying to guess which is sounder....
oh, carp/croak/confess
