IT is a short, but mighty word,
so powerful, IT seems absurd,
'cause IT can be most anything.
Yes, IT can be a diamond ring,
denote a site or special place,
upon our Earth or outer space.
We say IT for a house or car,
the moon and sun, a falling star;
use IT for land or sky and sea;
a pretty rose, a stream, or tree;
IT for a cloud, the rain, the snow,
a thought or dream, a place to go,
that has a name, but we refer
to IT as IT when we confer.
IT is a shortcut in our speech
to take a break from naming each
one thing or place, so we say IT.
IT is a word, you must admit,
we often say without a thought,
and when we do, IT's not for naught
because by all, IT's understood;
for IT is simple, short and good.
Without word IT, we know IT's true
our thoughts are harder to construe.
IT stands for lots, we must agree...
our 'IT' has versatility!
