SOMEWHERE HERE

SOMEWHERE HERE

That was then and this is now
and when the this became a now
I don't know, somehow,
as then was then, and now is now
and yet its all ideas somehow,
we make a this and make a that,
a now that isn't there, it must be there
or here somewhere
so find it please before I sneeze
and send it off to where, nowhere,
somewhere there.

reminds me of one of my favourites byJames Broughton
'This is it and I am It and you are it and so is that and he is it and she is it and it is it and that is that'

'and yet its all ideas somehow' --- (it's - needs an apostrophe - 'it is')

fun to read aloud

shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for the God of Things as They are.'
(Rudyard Kipling)

I went to an American priest once, not for anything to do with religion,
but to ask him, as E and I we writing a book, whether the its needed
and apostrophe, and he said its usually not used any more,
and he wrote a lot of English, no you don't have to.

I don't know if there are any special occasions when it is imperative
to use it so, perhaps you could enlighten me, but I have always,
ever since he said that, used its without any apostrophe.

It has its serious side to it too I think, which of course
makes it all the more amusing, perhaps :)

annanya thank you judyanne x

its = possession
it's = it is

Oh joy that it amuses and also that the underlying seriousness shows too.
Thank you Lonnie.

Good to giggle sometimes,
life without humour is not a laughing matter is it Cat and all?
Now we can dance a Scottish jig together and laugh.

Don't step on the swords then?

I have a fun correspondence with someone who joins in,
and it sometimes gets distinctly absurd ha ha :) Anninagoodmood.
