Words

 

When to explain I try to endeavour

Your only response – “whatever”.

When I suggest we get “touchy-feely”

Your only response – “oh, really?”

When over the line I venture to dare

Your only response – “don’t go there”.

Even when I stumble with only a “duh”.

Your only response – “Uh-huh”.

But when I’m not acting the fool

Your welcome response – “cool”.

 

And the most common answer wherever I go

Is that all too simple, but meaningful “no.”
