Prepositions In A Senior Moment Poem by gershon hepner

the way that all of ours are going, under.

Linda phoned me from Junior's, a deli on Westwood Drive that is about to go under, asking me what part of speech 'between' might be. I was so shocked to learn about her senior moment that I dropped the telephone and rushed to the computer to write my 12301st poem. Linda also asked me how to spell 'hers' in 'Is this his or hers? '' which is why I wrote 'ours' in the last line of this poem. 'Hers' is, of course, the third person singular feminine possessive pronoun, replacing 'her' + noun.

I wondered whether anyone had ever written a 'senior moment' poem before and found this one in poemhunter.com:
Senior Moments
Just like that old saying,
'I don't care what you call me,
Just don't call me late for supper.'
Sometimes you don't call me by my name.
When you scold me,
You use your children's names.
When we argue harshly,
You call me by the name
Of that woman you last had an affair with.
But I take no offense
Because when you make love to me
You always get it right.
