    Another one to think about...

    The Long Lost Word

    In kindergarten it was
    one of the first words we were taught
    but somewhere along the way
    we somehow forgot
    It's always been available
    and so many will refuse it
    everyday, so few will say
    and even choose to use it
    Once a year, a holiday,
    the reminding of the little bird
    But after that, there's not much chat
    and we hardly use the word
    I search and looked and questioned
    Is there any other way?
    A word that's been forgotten
    that could so easily make my day
    I opened up a closed room
    and stood right by the door
    and someone finally said it
    while everyone else just simply ignored
    for she actually did say it
    for this there is no prank
    I had finally heard the long lost word
    a women giving thanks.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
