Now, I have a friend named Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla,
And I could say that Rufus found a kangaroo
That followed Rufus home
And now that kangaroo belongs
To Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla.
Whew!
I could say that, but I don't have to,
'Cause I've got pronouns, I can say, "He found a kangaroo that followed him home and now it is his"
You see, he, him, and his are pronouns,
Replacing the noun,
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla,
A very proper noun.
And it is a pronoun, replacing the noun, kangaroo! (How common!)
Now Rufus has a sister named Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla.
If she found a kangaroo I'd say to you:
"She found a kangaroo that followed her home, and now it is hers."
But I can't say that...
'Cause she found an aardvark
That fell in love with her, and they're so happy.
And my name's Albert Andreas Armadillo.
(No relation to the Sarsaparillas.)
Because of pronouns, I can say:
"I wish she would find a rhinoceros for me and we'd be happy."
You see, a pronoun was made to take the place of a noun,
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down!
Now I could tell you Rafaella Gabriela and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo found an aardvark, a kangaroo, and a rhinoceros.
And now that aardvark and that kangaroo and that rhinoceros belong respectively to Rafaella Gabriela Sarsaparilla and Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Albert Andreas Armadillo!
Whew! Because of pronouns I can say, in this way:
"We found them and they found us and now they are ours and we're so happy."
Thank you, pronoun!
'Cause saying all those nouns over and over
Can really wear you down.
My Ideal Person:
They say our solar system is centered 'round the sun,
Nine planets, large and small, parading by.
But somewhere out in space,
There's another shining face
That you might see some night up in the sky.
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen,
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
