Ode to 'Um'
by Victoria Barnett
Oh ‘Um’,
You have saved me from awkward silence,
And been there in times of desperation.
You are a wonder to behold,
When I have no imagination.
Oh ‘Um’,
You have pulled me into your clutch,
And there’s no escaping you now.
No doubt you are used too much,
And, Ummmm…
