Consent To Yes Poem by shimon weinroth

At first it was a nod, then a harrumph or grumph,
That surrendered, and said yes
Magic key of social contract, to agree,
Yes I would and yes I could, yes I will

Bonds growing stronger, by assent and consent
To the heirarchy of contact, acquiesed by request
Don't take it ligjhtly, It means what it says and yet
' I knew I could always get round him'

' Then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes,
Then he asked me would I yes' ' yes and his heart
was going like mad and, yes I said yes. I will yes'
The last paragraph from James Joyce's 'Ulysses'
