I’ve almost always
preferred the word Which
over That.
I know it is in
writing a most
grievous sin
causing all sorts
of confusions and confessions
again and again.
So, I’m wondering once more, again.
Why I wish for Which, instead of That
and that is simply, well, and you know what
I’m going to say next,
don’t you, instead of,
Just That!
If we could all be clever, beyond
all telling, then one would
think that we could invent a new
Word, for both, like
‘Wthat’ or ‘Twhich’
Or even ‘Whichthat.’
And let all of us pick
one or another, of course
that leaves us where we started.
So, I’ll stay this old and weary
argument, at this, or is it That?
Tell me simply, which one to use.
