There’s Nothing Wrong with “Me”

There’s Nothing Wrong with “Me”

There’s really nothing wrong with “me.”

And frankly it’s just sad

The way some people leave “me” out

As if I’m wrong or bad.

Instead they use my cousin, “I”

Where he does not belong.

He’s simply not objective case. My

Goodness, that’s just wrong.

“Please contact Jane or I today”

Is said by more than some.

They’d never say, “Please contact I.”

They’d know that that sounds dumb.

There is one truth we all should face,

One truth we all should see:

For compounds in objective case

There’s nothing wrong with “me”!
