Sorry

So many different ways to say 'I'm sorry, sorry!'

What I did, it wasn't right
And for that I am contrite
The cruel things I said and meant
For those I am penitent
My regret is in full force
It is deep, I feel remorse
Now that my conscience has started to function
I am feeling great compunction
I'm aware of my disgrace and
That's why you can say I'm chastened

So many different ways to say 'I'm sorry, sorry!'

Port

Ships carry their cargo to ports
Port means carry in words of all sorts

You can carry around documents in your portfolio
For clothes and larger items you might want a portmanteau
The first is not so heavy because it's thin and flat
The second is hard to carry because it's big and fat

If you want your bags carried at a hotel or railway station
Give them to the porter, that is his occupation
He transports your bags to your room or your seat
Don't forget to tip him, he works so he can eat

A thing that is easy to carry is described as portable
If it's not expensive it is also affordable
People who can carry on an easy conversation
Are said to have rapport and deserve our admiration

Ships carry their cargo to ports
Port means carry in words of all sorts
