When Someone Is Good
By Mark Bird
When someone is good
Just tell them they're good
No woulds, no coulds
No maybe-you-shoulds
No ifs, no buts
No why-didn't-you-puts
No thats, no this
No stars and a wish
No mmms, no sniffs
No much-better-ifs
When someone is good
just tell them they're good
With whoas, with wows
With show-us-all-hows
With smiles, with cheers
With I love your ideas!
