“Trying to Woo”

Trying to woo
the, “Whoo-hoo!”
and, “Ballyhoo!”
versus
“Pooh-poohing
the Pooh-bah
by booing”
leading to,
“Boo-hooing”
beneath Blue Moons
after eyeing,
“Polka-dotted
helium balloons”
for preschoolers
sealing the deal
with curbside
tilts and twirls
along parade routes
labeled, “Dang it!”
proclaiming,
“It’s AOK”
as commonplace
as, “retro throat
dangler loop-de-loop
choo-choo trains” ...
