The word I’d drop is ‘try‘

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

If I had to drop one word

The word I’d drop is ‘try’.

It is an ineffectual word

And here’s the reason why.


You only ever use the word

If unsure you’ll succeed.

It’s commitment builds success

You ought to say, ‘I WILL’.


Don’t let others get away

With saying that they’ll try.

You have to know they really will

Or know the reasons why.


I would make one exception

And that’s to save a game.

No point playing rugby

If you can’t score a try.



Cross the line- you score a try

For that you get five points

And a chance to shoot at goal

And get another two.


When you set up

to kick the points

You have to know you will.

The chances are you

Won’t succeed

if you only think

‘I’ll try.’
