It's a simple two letter word
but I never managed it,
and each time I tried
to say it,
I'd trip right over it.
I vividly recall
the number of times
it's landed me in a soup
burnt my fingers
many a time
but never
learnt from it.
Each time I was asked a favor
My inner voice would scream
just go ahead and say it
but I'd numbly nod my bean
I'm wiser now,
I can read that look
from miles and miles away
I brace myself and
look them in the eye
and firmly say, NO!
