uh-huh

So many ways

to say the

Aye

that all begin with

Y…

and Nay’s

the same

a changing frame,

depending on your style.

I guess

no less

I’ll start with Yes

–a man we all esteem

but counterpart in Nay’s

not Ness

or even in between.

It’s No

like Yo

not Oko, though,

who couldn’t sha-na-

Nah

that’s “no” in lingo

and this time: bingo!

opposite is: Yeah.

which builds the hope

that Nope

and Yope,

are contradicting words

alas, a lack

in our verknack

failed to coin this term.
