IS IT I?

             IS IT I ?

Is it me or is it I, Lord? 

Judas got it right,

didn’t want to compound his crime;

but no one cares today

about the case of pronouns

or the difference between lie and lay

or the past tense of lead is led without an a. 

The yellow bus is waiting

to take us back to school,

but we no longer fit those tiny seats.
