Yea And Nay Poem by Khairul Ahsan
Yea And Nay
Men and women quite often may,
Mean the opposite when they say,
Those simple words yea or nay,
While in a courtship or in a fray.
So weigh these two words every way.
Just to be polite, women may say
A feeble yea which in fact is a nay.
Before they say a certain yea or nay,
Of pros and cons they make a survey
Keeping their real intents held at bay.
When men ask their women out,
To a date, a stroll or a dine-out,
Often falter when they go about
Taking a yea or a nay sans doubt.
And lose the fun of the cosy hang out.

A very humorous poem because it is true. It is the games we play. It is about second guessing oneself about one another. to songs come to my mind as I read your poem The Games People Play and Its All in the Game.
Yea, How simple words can be misunderstood. Has a great catch to it. Thank You
Hahaha otherwise we can use other words that give similar meaning, no confusion no frustration_Soul
Interesting revelation...indeed it often happens the yea and nay thing!
@Clarence Prince, I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words on my poem.

@Howard 'the motivational poet' Simon Thank you so much for lending your eyes to my poem and leaving your thoughtful words. I am truly inspired!
@Sj Holland I am so glad to have your thoughtful comment on my poem. Though you do not visit this site on a regular basis, yet you took time to read my poem and appreciate it so generously! I am indeed touched by your words. Apart from the appreciative words on my poem, I particularly liked these lines of yours: ' I do believe though that we often understand the meaning behind a yea or nay given to us, but choose to ignore it, lol.'
The yeaness of the nayness here reveals that sometimes the mouth says one thing and the heart says another. Well done my friend!
