Goodbye

Goodbye

We had a funeral to say goodbye
It was important to leave on a high

The “at” family came and quietly sat
Waiting their turn to speak with dear Pat

The “in” crowd arrived with all of their kin
Each hid behind a shy little grin

Next came the “un” twins which doubled the fun
They spoke of the time they went for a run

Nobody thought the “it” team would fit
But somehow they managed to file in and sit

There were word families as far as you could see
All of them there to support my family and me

You just do not disrupt the “an” family clan
By placing an apostrophe T at the end of can

Can with an apostrophe t? Oh how absurd!
That’s why we’re mourning this silly word.
