I\u2019ve said \u201cYes\u201d too many times to count,<\/p>\n
Which leaves massive space for a case of No Doubt,<\/p>\n
I doubt that \u2018no\u2019 would have changed a thang,<\/p>\n
And doubt any happiness it could\u2019a brang,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
N\u2019Doubt, such a loss, was a tragic shame,<\/p>\n
left Lil\u2019 Doubt, sibling, of lesser fame,<\/p>\n
to whose Gramps, the Father-of-all-Doubts, made claim,<\/p>\n
using fear to bolster the Family name.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cousin Whatif, of Cleveland, you might recall\u2014<\/p>\n
the most ambiguous N\u2019Dout of all\u2014<\/p>\n
Still spells his name with Old Country flair\u2014<\/p>\n
Drops the B to add \u2018Watshudikare\u2019.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
N\u2019Doubt, you know\u2014won the great war<\/p>\n
to banish all \u2018Maybees\u2019 from near and far\u2014<\/p>\n
now plays the harp, of Old Mitaben.<\/p>\n
but we don\u2019t have time to listen to him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Cause likely we\u2019ve already spent too much time<\/p>\n
on the unfaithful N\u2019Doubt and his long family line,<\/p>\n
instead of embracing the \u2018Yes\u2019 we picked out\u2014<\/p>\n
with Whatifs and Maybees, and their likes, no doubt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
