    Prepositions are
    Everywhere!
    First ahead! Then far behind!
    They just refuse to be confined.
    They’re near and far, there and here.
    Like monkeys on a chandelier.
    Over, under, across, and through,
    Inside, outside, between the two,
    Within, without, among, around,
    It’s hard to pin a preposition down.
