Oh woht I wohuldn’t do to “oh”
For woht it has landed us in
Is the shohrter list
[Cohmpared to “oh & I wohuld…”]
Due to “oh”
Prohfanity & verbal aggressiohn have passpohrts
Almohst alsoh diplohmatic immunity
And facing up with it is a stohny ohvercast expressiohn
Ohnly when “oh” is exclaiming pleasant surprise
Does it redeem itself – thohugh hardly
And this narratohr wohuld like peohple to get ohver it
A simple exercise in practising alternatives
Yes even “oh-oh” creating a “woe” sound
Is preferable for a while, ’til we’ve had oh-oh’s heaven
Yet then, blue in the face, we’ll berate that too
…Respectfully then – diffuse…, perhaps with a ‘you-ee-eye’
