Tweeter Wars
“Pah”, says the wren, the martin says "Phoo,
It’s ungrammatical to say, ‘to who’ -
Any birdie that’s been to school
Should have learnt the pronoun rule.”
Let the wren fret, the martin fume
Let them correctly say ‘to whom’.
The maverick owl, he sleeps all day
Doesn’t give two hoots anyway.
It’s ungrammatical to say, ‘to who’ -
Any birdie that’s been to school
Should have learnt the pronoun rule.”
Let the wren fret, the martin fume
Let them correctly say ‘to whom’.
The maverick owl, he sleeps all day
Doesn’t give two hoots anyway.
