Why Do They Say-They Say
It strikes me in an unusual way.
Who is this,'they'?
And why do we believe this 'they',
In almost a fanatical way?
There are no question asked!
No saying is put to task.
Not by this poetess~
It makes her arch back!!
We believe each 'they say',
More than any commandment.
I say with unequivocal delay!
Stop saying this, it promotes
grave, mental decay.
These 'they says' are from
dead people, don't you know?
Many from great poets whose
feet were on this earth, centuries
ago.
Many are sayings just lifted out of
their poems.
And taken as eternal truths we live
by.
Not this poetess, by God, who lives by
...'question why!'
I don't want to be a hapless ninny
With a brain of shaky memory that
is skinny.
All these "they says", may have
a warm, cozy feeling.
Not to me~who wants a rational
answer with meaning.

*Go online to 'English proverbs'.
You will find, I am not dreaming
Truth does matter, the Greeks knew
that..
Otherwise, there is just air under
that hat.
