Summary: The product of my boredom and the fact I needed to write a poem for an English assignment.

An Ode To Yotz
What a wonderful word is Yotz
It should be taught to all the tots
So they can yell it as they bang on pots
You may ask, "What is this word I've never heard before?"
Which you say in such high regard and seem to adore,
So much that you have even written it on your door."
And I will respond in shock!
So loud that I will make dogs howl and bark
As far away as Central Park
"How can this be!
Don't you ever watch TV!
That is the only explanation I can see
To explain why you don't know how great this word can be!"
And you will say, "I only watch TV during prime time,
But I have not heard it mentioned during the hours of eight and nine,
Or any other time. Is yotz the name of a mime?"
"You are not watching the right shows!" I will say.
And ask, "What ever do you watch on Friday?
It better not be network television I pray."
"If you really must know," you respond,
"I switch between the network stations and watch whatever is on.
And before you say anything, where do you keep the Bon Bons?"
I will tell you, "In the frige by the grapes."
And when you return I will ask, "Have you never heard of FarScape?"
"You know I have all the episodes on tape"
You will say, "Ahhh, I have seen that show once before and found it to be a bore,
So I didn't watched it any more."
And I will scream "A BORE! A BORE!"
"How dare you! I will throw you out the door!"
And you will say, "Is that where you got yotz from? I silly little show,
Maybe I will just go"
And I will yell, "NO!"
"You will come sit on this couch!"
"I said sit not slouch!"
"And we will watch all the episodes of FarScape, and you will love it by the end I vouch."
So we sat and watched FarScape
And ate all the Bon Bons and the grapes
And only once did you try to escape
When they were all done
You admitted you that had fun
And asked when will the next season come
And I told you that it will start soon
On the first Friday of June
And that you better get going, it's almost noon.
But before you go I ask, "What do you think of the word yotz?"
"Should it be taught to all the tots,
So they can yell it as they bang on pots?"
And you will exclaim, "Yotz is such a beautiful word,
To use anything else would be absurd!"
And I will respond, "But sadly it is rarely heard
For only Scappers know the word."
