The offensive message
I meant to send you
purely as a joke
was returned to me
due to insufficient address information
and is now no longer timely.

Please assume,
in out most recent correspondence,
when you last expressed something
most heartfelt and sincere,
that I responded
with a statement
quite course and sarcastic
and not just a little bit racist.

The specifics are unimportant.
It is not the thoughts that count
so much as the sentiment
behind it.
Your friend,
The Jerk.
