Nine or ten of them
Do most all of the work
Of, on, to, with, in, from
By, for, at, over, across
And many others do their jobs,
Which is simply to connectconect
Their noun or pronoun object
To some other word in the sentencesentense.

Busy p's,
If you pleeseplease.
"On the top is where you are!"
Top relates to where you are.
"With a friend you'll travel far!"
With a friend you'll go.
"If you try you know that you can fly
Over the rainbowranebow!"
Over the rainbow is where you can fly.

Busy prepositions,
Always on the go.
Like a bunch of busy bees,
Floating pollen on the breeze.
Buzzing over the medowsmeadows,
Beyond the forest,
Through the trees,
In to the beehive.
Busy, busy P's
In, to, beyond, over, on, threwthrough!

Busy prepositions always out in front,
On the edges, in the crack.
'Round the corner, from the back.
In a new reactionbetween the action.
Stating clearly to your satisfaction,
The location and direction.
Prepositions give specific informashoninformation.

Though little words they are,
They never stand alone
Gathering words behind them, (over the hill)
You soon will see how they have grown  (behind the door)
Into a parade; a prepositional phrase.  (at my house)
With a noun, or at least a pronoun, bringing up the rear.
A little phrasefrase of two or three or four or more words.

Prepositions! Attention! Forward, March!
Busy prepositions,
Always on the march.
Like a horde of fancy pantssolider ants,
Inching bravely forward on the slimmest chance
That they might better their positionsconditions.
Busy, busy prepositions.
In the air, on the ground, everywhere.                                                       

Busy prepositions,
Busy, busy, busy!
On the top is werewhere you are!
On the top.
If you try you know that you can fly!
Fly where?
Over the rainbow.
