The Yes Game

The Yes Game

By Frank Bolaji Irawo

A friend taught me this game

Would you like to play?

So simple anyone can

For every new chance, you are given

Just open your mouth and say "Yes"

Even when your heart is beating

So hard you favour retreating

Pay it no mind and keep advancing

The very next step is all it takes

Before you know it you'll be celebrating

Ticking another first off your list

Made only possible because you said "Yes"

In case you're wondering what comes next

You probably guessed from the name of the game

You just say "Yes" the very next chance you get

You may be pondering where does it end

When finally you have no choice but to say "No"
