“Well Well Well!”

 

 

English is trouble

You don’t have to sigh,

I consider it a problem

But then, you are not I.

 

Take for example

The word we call well,

So many different meanings

Just a few I will tell.

“Well, well, well!”

He exclaimed in amazement

He couldn’t believe it

When he saw the dent.

 

Poor simple Millie

She was down in the well,

What else could he say but

“Well, Well, Well!”

Yesterday he was fine

Today he is not well,

I now understand

It was only after he fell.

 

She made an awful mess

But she meant well,

Still, nothing she said

Could my anger quell.

 

Well, what did he say?

Do you really know?

Or are you basing your point

On somebody’s “say so”?

 

English is trouble

I don’t do it well,

I am sure after reading this

That you can tell.

 

“Well, Well, Well!”
