what how

The determiner, The label


The war on "the" has begun,
A battle fierce, a fight for fun.
A determiner small and neat,
But oh, how it causes defeat.

The articles march in rows,
"A" and "an" with their gentle prose.
But "the" stands tall, a leader true,
A force to be reckoned with, anew.

The grammar police, they shake with fear,
For "the" is a force, fierce and dear.
It's use precise, it's meaning clear,
A guide to all who hold it dear.

The war may rage, the fight intense,
But "the" will always make sense.
A victor in this linguistic quest,
Forever "the" shall be the best.
