Teacher said,
Leave out the the,
two too’s one too too many
and and after the comma
should go after the any.
The the, the too –
and move the and
and that should make it flow.
Not that that, that that’s fine –
but this that, that could go.
I said,
The the, the too, the and –
I would agree with you.
But I’m very fond of that –
this that and that that too.
Which that is that?
Is that this that?
Asked teacher with a grin.
Okay – but take that last in out
And leave that last out in.
