The Worst Kind of Impossible

Simply say yes It’s all you need to say yes in agreement to anything if anything can have an agreement to it would be better to be beyond a doubt so just say yes and although the molehills to the mountains will not capitulate but cease to struggle in the indeterminate whirlwind they will at least have some sanctimonious repertoire informing you they were right all along So just say yes and though the rankle of yes men may make you flutter somewhere a little bit flunkies please be filled with enthusiasm yes to make them feel good yes-ing up the whitewash it covers up those insufficiency a simple yes is a potent remedy and all is well there is no mistake there are no double-takes Three little letters equal a one syllable word yes yes has more power contained within than even such highly vaunted words such as love or sin yes can change the world but it won’t alter a single opinion it will only reinforce them So to that such sweet candy of the ears we beg you dribble and relinquish tell us exactly what we want to hear something we can live with that assurance a rectitude and perfect-itude of all that we have done something which please does not offend but sits in the cosseted warmth of self-righteousness Because if it is not yes there are surely going to be consequences
