Like
In conversations with young girls, A common word is heard, it twirls Around their tongues, and fills the air With a word that's used beyond compare It's "like," they say, so many times In every sentence, every rhyme It's like the word can't be ignored Like it's a part of their vocal cord "Like, I was at the mall today" "Like, did you see that dress on display?" "Like, I really want to try it on" "Like, it's so cute, it's a must-have, hon" It's like they use it to express Every feeling, every guess It's like the word's a crutch they need To communicate, to intercede But like it or not, it's their way Of speaking, of expressing, every day And though it may seem overused Like, it's just how they're amused So let them talk and let them say The word "like" in every way For it's a part of their youthfulness Like, a mark of their like-uniqueness.
