Yes Yes



Yes
---- Big Frank Dickinson

Of all the words that come to you
There's none that can compare with "Yes".
It affirms, it agrees, and it opens doors,
Doors that you have awaited the opening of

Thinking to yourself: yes . . . no?, yes? . . . no?
Banish no and welcome yes for it says: OK,
What you have waited for is here for you.
Yes to you, and yes to now, and yes to tomorrow.

Yes, count the syllables - one.
Yes, now say it long - two syllables.
Yes, count the letters - three
Now say it four time: yes, yes, yes, yes.

Look at this word - it's silly in its
Jaw dropping glide through the
Mundane shwa to the promising
Sibilant - sssssss - as long as you waited.

Yes, it's OK. Yes it's obvious.
Yes, it's yes. Yes it really is yes.
Yes, it's not no - it's yes.
Yes it's yes - Yes.
