THE NAUGHTY PREPOSITION, by Morris Bishop

THE NAUGHTY PREPOSITION
Morris Bishop

I lately lost a preposition:
It is, 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 he come
Up from out of in under for?”
