I can honestly say thatthis is a pet hate of mine.  i do not have many, thank goodness, but this really gets me going. 

Dis “Like”

 

There’s a little word I love and use,

That recently is being abused. 

Out of context, it sounds absurd,

Miss-usage of this lovely word. 

I use it when I want to say,

That things are nice in every way. 

It’s also handy when you see,

That things hold similarity. 

So please don’t use it willy nilly,

It makes you sound , like, really silly. 

And use it as it should be heard,

“I like ice-cream and lemon curd.

NOT like.  As like, you have been,

To fill in gaps, like, in between. 

The rule is easy –  go to town,

SAY IT AS YOU’D WRITE IT DOWN!!!
