I saw a thing
Online
Displaying the replacement of pronouns--
I
Me
My and mine
We
Us
Our and ours
You
You
Your and yours
He and she and it and ze and they
Him and her and it and hir and them
His and hers and its and hirs and their and theirs
All that--
In song lyrics
With "Greg"
Saying the results are funny
And they are
But I have to wonder
Why "Greg"
And not another name
The monosyllable makes sense
The replacement has to fit the cadence
For the song still to work
And if the song does not work
The joke does not
Either

Still
There are many monosyllable names
Bob and Jim and Jane and May and Rose and Ed
And others
Many, many others
Earl would work as well
And sounds like a belch, too
So that the joke does more
So why "Greg"
And not another name?
