Yea and Nay! I like it, it has humour! Thanks for sharing, Khairul Ahsan!
@Howard 'the motivational poet' Simon Thank you so much for lending your eyes to my poem and leaving your thoughtful words. I am truly inspired!
@Sj Holland I am so glad to have your thoughtful comment on my poem. Though you do not visit this site on a regular basis, yet you took time to read my poem and appreciate it so generously! I am indeed touched by your words. Apart from the appreciative words on my poem, I particularly liked these lines of yours: ' I do believe though that we often understand the meaning behind a yea or nay given to us, but choose to ignore it, lol.'
The yeaness of the nayness here reveals that sometimes the mouth says one thing and the heart says another. Well done my friend!
@Rekha Mandagere, Thanks for pointing out the other half of the truth.

@Pradip Chattopadhyay, Thanks for liking the poem. It was written in a lighter vein to dwell on the duality of meanings that the words may hold when spoken by men or women under varying circumstances.
The other half of the truth is men never say easily yea for such nice things hahaha
liked the truthful expression of a womans passive aggressive nature. Quite nice, I really liked this.
@ Unwritten Soul, Thanks for your comment. The 'other words' can also be misunderstood, as long as the words are told to mean differently from the usual sense that they carry.
Yea, How simple words can be misunderstood. Has a great catch to it. Thank You
A very humorous poem because it is true. It is the games we play. It is about second guessing oneself about one another. to songs come to my mind as I read your poem The Games People Play and Its All in the Game.
I absolutely adore this poem! It relates to my current situation as well :) Thank you
not reading the hint correctly is a bane but in a way spices up life. loved this poem.
Interesting revelation...indeed it often happens the yea and nay thing!
@Clarence Prince, I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words on my poem.
