Then or There Again

by Chris Sorrenti


You’re right
grammatically speaking
the term is then again
though to some
there again sounds better

It’s the old you say potato
I say tomato
and that class is
how a language evolves

Fondly recalled the debate
over kid vs. children
how dare those colonials
sour the language
cried the UK
finally yielding to the fact
that kid was quicker
easier to say
now the word is universal

And in the end
there or then again
does it really matter
if there’s two ways to
say the same thing?
