The Naughty Preposition I lately lost a preposition; It hid, I thought, beneath my chair. And angrily I cried: “Perdition! Up from out of in under there!” Correctness is my vade mecum, And straggling phrases I abhor; And yet I wondered: “What should it come Up from out of in under for?” — Morris Bishop
The Naughty Preposition
I lately lost a preposition; It hid, I thought, beneath my chair. And angrily I cried: “Perdition! Up from out of in under there!”
Correctness is my vade mecum, And straggling phrases I abhor; And yet I wondered: “What should it come Up from out of in under for?”
