Question: Norwegian Word(s) Deep!?
The Norwegian language can be subtle!. It is all in the inflection, don't you think!?

Yaa, Yaa Yaaaa
(Yeah), (Yeah) (Yeah)

Amazing the wasted years we toil
To learn words so esoteric and long
When people like Ollie and Lena
Fare just fine with yaa, yaa yaa and yaaaaa!

Just think the daily grind unfold
“Is it going to rain today” Yaa
“How about tomorrow!?” Yaa Yaa
“Are you sure!?” Yaaaaa!

Yaa’s reflection so subtle to hear
My ancestors ears attuned
Made me practice to midnight sun
Yaa they did!. Yaa Yaa they did!. Yaaaaa!

When translators came to record the deed
They wrote our names as Yaa
When we shook our heads and said Yaa Yaa
They being dutiful wrote another Yaa

But where Yaa is used the most for me
Is when Lena gets a frisking…yaa
“Hey Ollie, honey sweet” Yaa
“Come to bed sweetie” Yaa Yaa
“O!.!.Ollie…!.” Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Sorry, forgot to tell you about that one!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the poem, but it would be much better if you could make the last word of each stanza's line 2 rhyme with "yaa" (any of the "yaa"s)!. It would fit the voice of the poem and make the poem fall more easily into a wonderful beat!.!.!.think about it!.

There's a famous story about a logician who was presenting his PhD!. dissertation, on which he had presumably toiled long and hard!. "To sum it up", he said, "there are many instances in which a double negative can mean a positive!. But there are none where a double positive means a negative!." From the back of the auditorium a sarcastic voice said, "Yeah, yeah!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
