Analysis of No Words Were Spoken
Carolyn Buck 1972 (St Paul, MN)
Nothen is being said, spoke or heard
Indeed that sounds absurd
Nothen recorded, typed or written
To spite that you have me smitten
There's no spitten, droppen or beat boxen
Its your eyes that do the talken
Those Words your not needen
To express how you feelen
When you gaze upon my eyes
I can tell if your in disguise
Or if your mood is frisky
Its obvious when your feelen icky
And evident when your annoyed
Tis awesome to see you overjoyed
My absolute favorite to see
Is that look of love you have for me!
