You Know

You Know

The words you know are overused—you know
You know, I know this is truly so
Just think of Abe Lincoln
(Let the image sink in)
Four score and seven years ago—you know

Once a person gets to using that phrase it is hard to break the habit. Your poem is an eye opener. I don't know if I still do or not. I appreciate the visits to my page. Sara
