EM OR UM
Should it be ‘em’ or should it be ‘um’
I could try more ‘m’s’ (just for fun)
for ‘emmm’ or ‘ummm’ has more of a ring
and works in lyrics if you should sing.
Perhaps an ‘r: would that work too?
Well ‘Ermmmm’ sounds good if you think it through
but somehow urmmm doesn’t work so well:
say it out loud, it’s easy to tell.
So it seems like ermmm is the word of the day
but hang on a moment – allow me to say
I’m not so sure - my mind’s gone a blur;
on second thoughts………..
………………… I much prefer ‘Errrr’.
