went to a friends place and they go wassup??
chat with another online and he goes assup??
call the other and she said ssup??
called him and he said sup?
So what is this wassup i ask,
Is it the new lingo in the land,
or the new phrase from bangalore to bandstnad.
If ask me how are you?
I will say " great and how do u do?
If you ask me howz life?
I will be polite and say it alrite.
Where are those words which ended in please,
the only thing i hear these days is jeeze!!!!
Is this what is taught in school,
the incomplete english that makes you a complete fool.
P.S - wrote this for fun, no thoughts involved at all :)
