My Favourite Word



My Favourite Word
Lucia and James L. Hymes, Jr.

There is one word—
My favourite—
The very, very best.
It isn’t No or Maybe,
It’s Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, YES !
“Yes, yes, you may,” and
“Yes, of course,” and
“Yes, please help yourself.”
And when I want a piece of cake,
“Why, yes. It’s on the shelf.”
Some candy? “Yes.”
A cookie? “Yes.”
A movie? “Yes, we’ll go.”
I love it when they say my word:
Yes, Yes, YES ! (Not No.)
Words of the Week

best

bonus word: quest

    This poem is so fun that I had to share on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/papercrafts.LF
    Hope it's all right. (let me know if it is not)

Due to the fact that I have been getting 10-20 spam comments every day, I have had to start using word verification. As a blog reader, I REALLY dislike word verification, but I had no other option. I am so sorry!
