Pronouns are the words
That take the place of nouns
They fit right in place
When you write them down

Some fit in subjects
Others predicates
Possessives are the final ones
And they show ownership

Ohhhhh, I, you, he, she, and it
We and you and they (Subject!)

Me, you, him, her, it, and us
You again and them (Object!)

My and your, his, her, its
Our and your and their (Possessive!)

Pronouns help improve your writing
So use them everywhere
(Correctly!)
