Say What
She yelled at the drawer that she'd just taken out
as something had fell out at the back,
“ Get in! Get in!” as she struggled and pushed,
but it ignored her verbal attack.
“ Come on! Come on!” he kept turning the key,
the ignition fought hard to resist,
and the engine just murmured in spite just as he
thumped the dash, for his train he had missed.
“ Today, Today!” She yelled out at the kettle
which seemed in no rush to make tea,
so she hit it three times with the back of a spoon
which would add extra time on, you'll see.
Inanimate objects can't hear what we say,
they don't playfully set out to tease,
but just in case they are all sentient beings
why don't you just try saying “Please” ?
