wh(y)?

like me-
it serves as a question
as well as an appropriately foolish letter
in bad company

it only teams up with words like

yodel, yak, yacht, yo-yo,

Yiddish, yellow...

even Yagermeister!

no wait

that starts with J...

    Amy, great post, and the "J" changeup at the end was very fun.

    I, of course, had 'y' as well, and was tempted to add my favorite hometown beer, Yuengling, but went for lust instead(!) Third of three poems. Other Amy

    Lol, funny stuff. I don't care if that last one starts with a Y or J. Either way it is Yuk!
