Overheard today, somewhere around the track

The improper use of the word "their" in the back

At least - it affected me so, as I wondered aloud ...

How twas possible one could misuse and be proud



Here and there - there are strangulations of language

As some go ahead with their thing, making a sandwich

With a fairly good top and and a clearly defined bottom

But the middle's a bit off, and that's the part that gets 'em
