pronoun showdown -
"I" is my favorite pronoun,
but ...
"Me" wants a word-play showdown ...
for neither "Him" nor "Her", is what "I" and
"Me" once were
back in the days of "Us", "We" never did
discuss,
how "He" and "She" ignore, that "Yours" took
"s" from "Your" ...
and "It" has often sought, the "s" that "It's"
now got
the "Her" that once was "Hers", lost the "s"
that "It" prefers,
now "Everyone" is sad, sans the "s" that "Her"
once had,
and "They" is never "We", because "Them" is
"She" and "He"
so how can "Hers" be "His", without knowing
what "It" is?
"They" is oft' confusing, "Me" and "You"
aren't fond of losing ...
and "Their" unique causation, "His" and "Her"
abbreviation,
help "Myself" and "Me" conclude, "I" and
"Mine" are being rude,
but "Another" soon may see ... whether "Me"
plus "You" ...
makes "WE".

(The "It's" in line seven is intentional, and a contraction of "it has", NOT the possessive form).
