Y ?

© - Tom Hyland - 07-03-09


Why is Y a CROOKED Letter?
‘Cause it STEALS Your Heart Away!

Y do we SMELL ODORS -
But SMELT ORES?

Y is an ORE stuff from a Mine -
And an OAR is a Pusher of Brine -
Yet, an ‘HORE is a Bloody Brit’s Prostitute?

NOTE: Just HAD to mention our Pond CUZZINS -
To remind them that we kicked Thar ARSES - TWICET!

Y does AYE mean Yes to Tars -
And EYE means to LOOK at -
Like maybe Stars?

Y does BY mean Near -
And BYE mean C-YA?

Y is C the Third Letter -
Yet SEE means Look -
And SEA is Wet Water?
And HolY SEE is People?
Duh? Y ?

Y does YA really mean YOU -
Yet - YEW is an Evergreen -
And YE is a plural THEE?

Y is THEE a plural THOU -
And Yet - THE is pronounced THEE?
Y ?


Y do - ‘Fools Fall in Love’?
Y do - ‘Birds Sing So Gay’?
Y does ‘Rain Fall From Up Above’?
And ‘Lovers Await The Break of Day’ -
Please - ‘Tell Me Why’?

( Remember Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers? )

Y are BEETLES BUGS?
Yet BEATLES are BEATERS?
And BEETS are Red Veggies?
Yet BEATS are things Cops Used to Walk?
Y ?


Y is ‘uck’ a Bad Word, or FOUL when it starts with ‘F’?
Yet - when ‘D’ is used it’s a Cute FOWL?
And a ‘hit’ Outside the Baseline is a FOUL-BALL?
Y ?

Y does Twelfth Day mean Epiphany -
Yet - Twelfth Night means the Eve, or Night Before?
‘Bloody Brits’ Again?
Y ?

Y does Twelvemo mean the same as Duodecimo?
A Book formed by Folding a Sheet Twelve Times!
Yet - Dewey Decimal is a Library System?
How Come?
Y ?

Y does Twilight of the Gods mean Ragnarok?
The Norse version of the German Gotterdammerung?
Yet - Jews, Christians, and Islams - call it Judgment Day?
Y didn’t Ishmael and Isaac ‘Get Along’?
See - Isagogics!
Y ?

Y does ILL mean Sick?
Yet - ILE is French for ISLE?
And I’LL means I WILL?

( is it the Friggin’ French - or the Bloody Brits - Yet Again ) ?

Y are most of our Words from: Latin, French, or English?
Yet - we Really Speak American?
Remember “The Americanization of Emily”?
Great Flick! Julie Andrews and James Garner!

WhY Y (1) ?
The 25TH Letter -
Y (2) - abbr. of Yeoman -
Y (3) - Symbol for Y-Axis -
Or - Symbol for Algebraic Variable -
Or - Symbol for Yocto -
Y ?

Y does YO mean - YOU?
Yet - YOB or YOBBO means Hooligan?
And - YOD or YODH is 10th Letter of Hebrew Alphabet -
While YAHWEH means GOD?
YAH! YEA! YES!
Y ?

FEEL LIKE A YO-YO YET?
