My Favourite Word

My Favorite 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.)
