Y Words

Y

Yagi

Let me now pass on the truth
That the antenna on your roof
Necessary if you watch TV
Is a Japanese invention
That enables good reception
Named after the engineer Yagi
what is a yagi? what does yagi mean? what is the definition of yagi?


Yore

When speaking of the olden days
In a most nostalgic way
Referring to what has happened before,

The pleasant days of long ago
And former times just so you know
Are things that do belong to the word yore.

You/Your/You’re


Here’s what you should and shouldn’t do
When you use the pro-noun “you”
You know, the word you use to designate
The person you are addressing
As in, “Gosh you are depressing”
When referring to another person’s state

But listen here my little friend
If “r” is found at “you’s” rear end
The word takes on a sudden transformation
For then the word it does take on
The very essence of “belongs”
As in, “Excuse me sir but is this your train station?”

But if you add an "r" and "e"
After an apostrophe
What you mean is something someone’s doing
Like, “You’re certainly disturbing me
If you’re wearing that to tea,
Doing so will end up your undoing!”

So please don’t be a moron
When you need to put an r on
Otherwise you might cop some abuse
For your and you’re might seem the same
But they’re not, THEY’RE NOT the same!
And after reading this you’ve no excuse!
what is the difference between your and you're? you're in a sentence, your in a sentence, poems about grammar, the correct usage of your and you're
(please note, the apostrophe used in "you's" in the second verse is used to denote "belonging" because in this instance "you" has been personified - if you think this is wrong please let me know :)
